Hey Guy,

So my front differential is starting to leak in multiple spot. So it's time to pull the differential and rebuild them this summer. My question is when I am in the diffs is it worth the money and time to upgrade to ARB Air Lockers (ARB Air Locker - RD187 AMC 20 2.73 & Down). I know that the hummer has Torson Diffs and they need to be tricked into locking up by the braking method. But I find they don't work that great when in deep mud. I installed (3) ARB Air lockers In my M35A2 about 7years ago and it was the best upgrade ever. The truck is so much better off road in mud, snow, and sand. So I was wondering if any one has installed air locker in there m998 and do they like them better then the Torson Diffs. Also any one know a good fully submersible waterproof heavy duty air compressor. I was think of trying this one https://kleinn.com/product/model-6450rc-100-duty-cycle-air-compressor/

Hummer H1 has logged 300,000 plus miles on 7k axles and basic diffs. He fords water and pulls other vehicles to safety. He indicates he has never wanted or needed more than BTM.

Spend lots of $$$ if you want, but why?
