Rear AAM 11.5″ 30 Spline ARB Air Locker
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Rear AAM 11.5″ 30 Spline ARB Air Locker for GM 2500/3500 2000-06 & Dodge Ram 2500/3500 2003-current
Seattle, August 25th/ ARB 4×4 Accessories/ To meet the voracious demands of the diesel dragsters, sled pullers and four-wheelers alike, ARB is proud to include this impressively strong new model in their Performance Air Locker Series. Designed for the 2000-06 GM 2500/3500 models and the 2003 and newer 2500/3500 Dodge Ram, this new 52 pound behemoth is the first of a new breed of heavy torque handling Air
Locking differentials.
ARB’s patented 2-piece case design is manufactured from heavy cross sectioned nodular iron castings for virtually unbreakable strength and has been designed so that the side gears can be optionally upgraded to 35, 37 and 40 spline shafts. These higher splined side gears will be available in spring 2010.
As with all of ARB’s Performance Lockers, the RD139 features ARB’s patented Timed Gear Technology, which offers the highest locking strength while maintaining split-second unlocking ability. The steel reinforced, bonded seal has been designed to handle the most extreme climactic temperatures on earth complementing the competition bred strength of the locker.
The RD139 is a huge locker that can handle huge power. How much power? Our computer modeling suggests that this locker will handle upwards of 5 times more torque than the OE differential. We had to increase the torque load for two reasons – first, to handle the extreme load generated by the extra traction achieved when this differential is locked, and second, so that ARB could offer future swap-in axle upgrades to higher torque shafts.
We can honestly say that the RD139 will not be the weak link in your drive train.
The 30 spline, AAM 11.5″ Air Locker is available through any ARB retailer by ordering ARB part number RD139.

New ARB Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Sport Shocks
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Old Man Emu Customized Suspension Systems Have Evolved
A twin tube-monotube hybrid design supercharges an all new line of NitroCharger Sport shock absorbers with all the valving of a monotube combined with the durability of twin tube.
SEATTLE, June 25/ARB 4×4 Accessories/ – Australian based four-wheel drive accessories manufacturer, ARB 4×4 Accessories has just announced the arrival of a new line of shock absorbers, the NitroCharger Sport, to add to their already extensive line of Old Man Emu branded suspension.
While most dual-tube shock absorber systems are typically designed with the focus on ride height rather than ride quality, ARB’s classic Old Man Emu (OME) NitroCharger line has always been designed with valving for the load carrying capacity as the core objective and the new OME NitroCharger Sport takes that principle one step further. Most dual and monotube shocks typically feature a two-stage valving process, the new OME NitroCharger Sport features a triple-stage valving process rivaled only by a remote canister adjustable shock. We’ve stacked it into the most durable shock body and adjusted it by load capacity for you. So, rather than offering a single adjustable shock, the OME engineers have done all of the testing and tuning adjustments for you. You get to choose from a selection of shock absorbers for your application based on your load-carrying configuration, guaranteeing an immediate and ideal ride without any costly fine-tuning required post-installation. The monotube style main piston valving improves transition and direction changes while the extra base valving provides more fine-tuning for comfort and control. So, the new OME NitroCharger Sport feels
like a monotube without the vulnerability or the high price tag.
