Jonhheld I don’t think your rear locker is working as good as it could.. It takes lots of wheel spin to get it to lock, where the front one is pretty fast. If you're jammed up in the rocks and need a bit of locker to get you going
I've had the motor apart and it is well greased. If I lift a rear wheel with a floor jack, the locker will engage almost instantly with with a bit of wheel spin to line up the splines. If I'm approaching an obstacle and attempt to lock the rear, it won't lock. At this point I'm already committed and in the rocks. I can rock backwards and forwards if I have room to maneuver, but the rear dash lamp will sit there and blink at me. At some point it will eventually lock (after swearing at it for a while), but it's nothing like the ARBs that I had in my 91.Jonhheld I don’t think your rear locker is working as good as it could.
I lock mine in my dirt driveway with out wheel spin before every trail run.
If you’re going through an obstacle with out it locking there definitely an issue.
Most likely the actuator just needs cleaning
I should have known that you have had it apart already!!I've had the motor apart and it is well greased.

No locker can lock instantly. The splines on the locking collar have to line up to slide over. ARBs have a fairly fine spline and lock/unlock very quickly. I've never had an issue with the ARBs not locking quickly when I engage them. I would imagine it's the same with Eaton.I should have known that you have had it apart already!!
I glad that mine doesn’t have those issue’s
I have never had a ARB could you feel it lock in, or does one just assume it’s locking instantly ?
