Ok, I'm installing an arb air locker on the rear of my 89 4runner. I also have converted my old a/c compressor to an on board system. It is set up to put out about 100psi. Im going to connect a regulator from that to my locker, but I was wondering if anyone knows what air pressure the air locker uses. I have heard that it should be about 10-15psi. Is that correct? I tried to contact arb, but they wont tell me. They want me to buy one of their compressors. So, if anyone could help me out with any suggestions, or maybey a website with arb/psi info it would be a great help.

Thanks,
Jon

Here ya' go bud...

Quoting from the ARB Service Manual...

"...maintains the air pressure ...between 585 kPa and 690 kPa.."

Using the old TI-89.. I get 84.84707657 psi and 100.076039 psi, so between 85-100 psi is adequate.

just wonderin' if you've addressed the oiling issues with the compressor. It's disheartening to hear that big squeal when you're needing it the most.

nope, i havent had any issues with oiling anything on the compressor. SHOULD I BE OILING IT SOMEWHERE? If so, please let me know. I haven't had any squelling sounds or anything. I really didnt know that you were supposed to oil it.

Thanks for any help you can give.
