Is anyone using one in free float axle? I’m really getting frustrated with ARB stuff and I’d like to use the e locker in my 80 series axle swap.

What size compressor? They don’t have the duty cycle unless there is an air storage tank in the system.
You could use powertank/Co2 tank with air switches to activate your lockers and air up.
Much more effective way to do it. Also airs substantially faster than a compressor. You can also adjust the output pressure if needed.
co2 for the win. Makes the small air compressors look like a complete joke. Fills up a 35" tire in less then 30 seconds.
Skip the powertank brand, they are just powder coating the bottles and putting a logo on them and charging an extra $5-600. My 25lb co2 bottle was $20 at a flea market, 150psi fixed regulator $50 on amazon, and a 25ft flexy hose from Home depot. Cost about $30 to refill and I haven't had to refill it yet.
You might have to get a little creative to use them with a ARB locker, plumbing-wise. I believe @GLTHFJ60 is running pneumatic switches with his ARBs
No elockers available for a semi float axle.
Eaton makes the Harrop. In the USA Eaton has decided to not let Harrop have the market.
So now Eaton is selling the elockers in the states, for less than Harrops. The Harropp vendor is phasing out the elockers if they haven’t already. And honestly the wiring harness is much nicer on the Eaton.
Cheers

I’ll take any ARB’s you’re discarding, I won’t put one of those Harrops in my truck. I don’t like the way they free spool between forwards and reverse at all.
But yes, there are tons of guys running them in 80’s. Check in that section
38 is the limit on these lockers I believe so I'm glad to hear they're holding up. How hard have you been on them so far? I just reageared to 4.88s and installed these front and rear but only running 37s.I run the Eaton/Harop Elockers in my 80 buggy. Startded using them when the 80 was full bodied. Just recently cut it up into a buggy. They have been pretty very reliable. Running 4.88's on 38's.
I don't think they are the weak link, and I don't think tire size plays a factor in it. I just started to run 38's, I have about 4 events on them with no issues. I had them on my full size 80 for about 4 years, but was only running 33's. Only one time have I had one of them not engage, When I went through the wiring I could not find an issue as to why it failed. Has worked solid since them. I would run them again, I have never notice a delay in lockup or unlocking. I definitely don't baby it, when It was a full 80, I had to use the skinny pedal more then I do now.
