I’m looking at buying a zip locker off craigslist for $375 and I wanted to ask if anyone knew a good way to test an air locker to make sure that it functions also is a used locker worth $375?

to me that sounds high. is it just the locker or complete 3rd setup.

Just the locker if it were the whole 3rd with like 4.88 I’d happily pay twice that but it’s just the locker no compressor or anything else. I also have no experience with air lockers but I want to put one in my front diff and this might be controversial but I’m gonna put a Detroit TrueTrac in the rear.

And yea sounds a bit high I really don’t want to pay more than 300 but he wanted 450. Either way I don’t have my heart set on it and definitely need to test it before I buy. I assume I can just hook up an air compressor and attempt to lock it But I don’t know

i ran lockrights front and rear fer years. the rear crosspin sheared and took out the rear 3rd. ordered a complete 3rd from marlin with a detriot and been happy.

i understand wanting an air locker. easy to turn, on and off capable, haveing air onboard is a huge plus so you can air up tires and whatnot.

To test an arb you apply 90 psi with an air compressor, I assume a zip would be the same.
