It will be coming out after the test period to be inspected.
I will not get one to keep until the production units arrive.
One thing I would like to point out that was mentioned to me by the ARB technical department is that the way this thing locks up, each spider gear is always engaged on 2 teeth. That's a minimum of 8 teeth (and that's more teeth than in Judds immediate family combined!) engaged at any time, and ARB has a patent on that. Others manufactures of air lockers can only (supposedly) engage on 1 tooth per gear for a total of 4. I'm no engineer, but I dont think it's possible to make it engage on 3 or more per gear.
The long and the short of it is, make sure the rest of your driveline is in tip top shape as the locker will be that last thing to fail on a stock drivetrain.
