ARB air pressure

whiterice · Dec 28, 2006

The numbers seem to be bouncing around in my head,, it is 60 psi or is it 90 psi. to run the ARB lockers. They look the same if you stand on your head

90-100 psi and you are safe. I think the on pressure is like 80psi bruce.

not to throw everyone off, but i was told by tech tim a long tim eago and i think some one at oly4x4 to not go over 30-45psi, because it would blow out the "O" ring that engages/disengages the locker. at that pressure my locker never had a problem locking in, other than the line getting plugged

I haven't really had much trouble with them, but last time out on a snow run the rear didn't seem to be engageing correct. At the time the undercarriage was covered in snow so I didn't look for leaks or bad line but when I got home and everything melted clean it was all fine. Checked the regulator and is was set at 60 psi. Thats when I started thinking, was is 60 or 90. I'll go head and bump it up to 85 psi and see how it works.
Will be giving it another good snow run on the 1st. Not hitting Iron, just running Beckler Rd. Thanks for the info:clappy:

if you have a purge valve bruce relese the pressure inside the compressor and shoot out any fluid in there. mine was doing that but it enguages after awhile. now it works fine. Bruce where beckler rd. i might go with you its been awhile since i wheeled with ya.

Beckler is the back side of Jacks Pass, just past Skykomish. Turn left before the bridge. We are meeting in Monroe Buzz Inn at 8:45 pulling out at 9:00.
Welcome to come along. Thinking there is around 5-7 rigs right now.
