hi guys.
wondering,do lokka make an application for the d40 or is the air locker my only choice?
I've been done this path, there is no Lokka available for the rear. My understanding is the diff is based on a dana 44 trak-lok. I dont think they are interchangble with other brands eg. Jeep use a dana 44.
There are better LSD from the states, Something like a Eaton truetrac would be far better, but expensive.
As you noted the only other viable alternative is the ARB air locker. I have one in mine and don't particular like it that much, and to be honest I would never recommend one, or buy another.
only negative I have heard with airlockers in rear diffs is the fact ya loose the lsd all together for road use.
Yep I researched everywhere I could and ARB air locker was the only option. It is awesome when on but I would get a detroit or similar if they were available so that it provides traction all the time, not just when it's turned on. We don't have that luxury though so it's air locker or factory lsd I'm afraid.
Yep problem with the air locker is it becomes a single spinner, going around a round about just spins up one wheel now. The air locker doesn't like engaging under load, so some times you have to roll back down a steep hill, until it engages and then move forward. otherwise you can do damage if it engages while under full power. I've had lokka's in a few other 4wd, they are brillant in the rear, but not the best up front. If they do bring out a lokka, I'll be selling the ARB in an instant.
