ARB for 14 bolt (10.5)

[Andy]

I talked to Chris Wood from ARB today, and we got on the subject of 14 bolt ARB's. He said that if there was enough interest (e-mails and letters/whatever) he would forward them to the big guys in Australia. I asked him if he was ok with getting over-run with e-mails I would show the interest. So I'm still not sure about giving out his e-mail address, not that you all couldn't find it some how. I'm going to tell him to check out this thread for starters, and we'll see how it goes.

there is deffinitely interest on my part...I think if you posted on POR you would have a ton more interest since there is a lot more guys running the 14T...

 

[Andy]

I plan on it, I just want to see how it goes here first because I think it will overwhelm ARB (Chris) with all the e-mails. So please post here first.

......just a crazy question......why make one for the 9.5 14bolt and not the 10.5??????

carrier size...that is also why there is no full spool for the 14T and the detroit only replaces the guts...it isn;t too cost effective to make a new carrier for that beast because they have to use a HUGE chunk of steel(or their choice of material)

considering how many of these axles are out there, It seems like they'ld have one for the chev 10.5.

I'll take one for the suburban if it will keep the break from locking up for no reason.

Are the shoes on the right way??? Maybe a leaky wheel seal?

 

[Brent]

shoes are on right, wheel seal, could be but its not leaking much if any, could be enough tho. get me a couple would you, I'll be by later. axles came from a 79 3/4 ton chev.

Put me on the list, not for myself but I have had customers ask about them in the past... more applications the merrier.

I like the Detroit,,,,


But, I have had problems with the ARB in the past.



I'll keep my Detroit.

PS,,,

Don't try and give me the thing about driving in the Snow,,,

I work in the snow.

personally I think that if ARB is going to be competitive with the detoit for the 14T they need it to be very resonably priced considering you can get a detroit for about three bills...

Bingo.

But how can they?

Whit a Detroit you just get the locking thingy, with ARB you get a complete unit.
