    Yep, I was just at ECGS yesterday. They replaced them for me. I haven’t tried it in action besides just testing the function. From what I was told by Stephen, ECGS manager, he said that all the new seals that they’ve installed have not come back for any issues.

    Fingers crossed!

    Had my locker installed for a few months now and I am in the leaking locker boat. Installed by one of the best here in hawaii too. Should i call ARB and order new seals and O rings?

    Yeah, my locker has the newest seals and stuff and works perfect. For a few months now. I ran it the whole time on the last few trips and it doesn't leak, not even a little.

    I’d buy a used rear end from a TRD OR with the stock e locker before I did the Harrop.

    I don't think anyone has had problems with the front ARB locker anyway.

    Okay, I’m probably biting the bullet and trying ARB lockers and 4.88s very soon.

    How have the “new seals” been lately? If I drop $3500 on gears and lockers and I get to Moab and they don’t work... I’m going to be furious

    I already did that with 4.56s. Haven’t gotten to try it out yet. My rear locker is right in the dead seal zone too :pout:
