I only used the ARB pump switch. For the lockers I used regular toggle switches from JJ's Autozone.

No, you can wire it yourself. Or you can even go wireless! Plumb the air through ball valves mounted in the cab and you'd never have to worry about switches or solenoids! Any on/off switch could be made to work. It would be more difficult to use alternate switches if you intend to use the ARB harness. If I were ever to use ARBs again (and of course I never intend to) I would use a York. Not the crappy ARB compressor.

Here we go...Rabidray said:
I have owned many in the past, and I absolutely hate them. They are way too complicated. Way too many different things have to happen to make them work. Too many links in the chain make it likely that one of them is going to fail. Seen many on trails that were not working. I destroyed a dana 44 ARB and a Dana 30 ARB within 30 days of each other, with 33s! The compressors suck, and don't last more than a year or two. Ugh, I could go on and on... You guys all keep buying them, I'm the only one who ever has problems with those turds.

Yup, everyone tries to pass all ARBs problems off on poor installs. Why is it that only ARBs have so many problems with "poor installs"? My ARBS were installed by proffessionals that had installed hundreds of them. It had nothing to do with the installation, they are just weak crappy turds! ARB owners viciously defend them, and say other people's problems with them are always "installation problems". Maybe it's because they have to feel like they got their money's worth? They just spent two grand (or more) on a couple lockers, and they can't admit that there are any problems with their huge purchase? Whatever, I'm glad other people are happy with them. I still have the right to my opinion, formed after much personal experience. It's just not a good enough locker for me.Elder SAMI said:
i agree, it doesn't seem bulletproof enough for me... my buddy's Cherocrap has f/r ARB's and they are funky alot of the time! no thanks. that's not dependable enough for the time money and safety of it all...
somehow ARB has brainwashed everyone into believing that the only flaw possible a is poor install.... there's like 300 ity-bity moving parts to make it work right.... i don't think so.... i like simple to understand, stout, equipment... i have a rear spool... annoying at times... but it will always lock when i want it to ya know? like a said, elec is the way i'm gonna go later down the road....

Yup, brainwashed. I would sure be pissed if one of the million links in the ARB chain failed during a competition. Luckily I learned my lesson before I started competing.Elder SAMI said:i agree, it doesn't seem bulletproof enough for me... my buddy's Cherocrap has f/r ARB's and they are funky alot of the time! no thanks. that's not dependable enough for the time money and safety of it all...

You guys sound just like the Auto Vs. Stick arguments.
