A ten minute video installing the ARB USA / Agile Offroad Air Locker in a Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 van. DISCLAIMER: This video was filmed with one hand holding a camera while wrenching with the other and consuming copious amounts of coffee throughout the duration of the install. If you feel jittery after watching well, you can imagine how I felt... Thanks for watching!
Van: 2022 Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 144" Wheelbase
Install goon: Tim Hines
Location: Adrenaline Vans HQ - Montrose, CO

Great video, can I ask what the two holes drilled in the left axel tubes were for and also does the new arb locker come set to the right lash etc, so it’s simply an install and go item? Thanks

@adrenalinevans Жыл бұрын

Those are for oil flow to improve oiling to the bearing on the left side of the locker. Thanks for watching!

Great informative video. I work at an arb dealer in Australia and we are fitting one to a dual wheel ....was wondering if u had any more Info o setting up pinion as you go from a solid shimed pinion to a crush tube type....the video doesn't show any shims used on the big bearing of the pinion plus the torque for the pinion nut....some feedback would be awesome....as we will be doin more of them.....cheers

Awesome job! How many hours should a whole install take (on a V6 4x4)? I'm based in Europe and there's a few shops starting to pop up being able to install these.

@adrenalinevans Жыл бұрын

A qualified shop would likely be able to install this all in a day including air lines and wiring. Thanks for watching!

Question. Will this Locker work with the dully? Thje 3500 or the 4500?

@adrenalinevans 8 ай бұрын

Yes, this will definitely work with the 3500. We haven't run across a 4500 yet but I am pretty sure it is the same differential as the 3500 but would have to check to be 100% sure. Thanks!

@mitchellbarnow1709 Жыл бұрын

How many times did it take you to do this without consulting instructions? What does an air lock do? I assume that it’s a locking differential, but I don’t know how it works?

@adrenalinevans Жыл бұрын

Hey Mitchell! An air locker allows your to lock both axels together so that they are always driving the vehicle forward at the same rate vs a stock open differential which allows one side to spin independently of the other. It help in low traction environments so you can continue to apply power without the vans computer sensing wheel slip and shutting down power to that axle. I’ve done a bunch of these installs and it definitely takes a bit of time to get comfortable doing them super quickly.

Great vid! Would have loved to see the ring gear magically get onto the new locker. The sprinter axles are cool looking. Awesome content. Thanks

Would this work on a 2wd van or just 4x4?

@gman1003 9 ай бұрын

You can put it on either.

@Bentworkerable Жыл бұрын

Why were the ring and pinion replaced during locker install?

@adrenalinevans Жыл бұрын

The Mercedes ring gears are welded to the carrier so there is no way to reuse them with the ARB locker.

Generally 4hrs or so for the gear setup and differential portion of the install.

Get a tripod for your camera, use 2 hands to work and you could have done it in 5 minutes. No need to thank me!
