The ARB Air Locker RD234 delivers selectable locking for the GM 14-bolt 10.5" full-float axle in 40-spline form — the choice for trucks running upgraded, larger-spline axle shafts. Lock it 100% for the hard stuff, release it for open-differential road manners, all from a single dash switch.
The extra spline count adds shaft strength for high-torque, big-tyre and heavily geared rigs, and ARB's forged four-pinion centre is engineered to match. Air-operated engagement is instant and repeatable, giving on-demand traction without the noise, wear or handling compromises of an automatic locker.
