Id say ARB is roughly double the cost of chinese ones, and I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for. With ARB that means spares and support.

Installing is really for a diff guy (well the front as you need to adjust lash), and the wiring etc is pretty simple for anyone to follow.

As for.performance...well...the grin says it all

RD05 fits 8" rear and RD110 fits 8" front. You will have an 8" front as thats the truck i had to get my front diff from. You will just need to make sure your rear has an 8" ring gear.

Talk to badnuz for a good price on genuine arb. I decided going chino wasnt for me i needed reliability, but others like the cheap stuff so YMMV

The v6 will have the larger diff in the rear, 9 inch. There is a locker for it.

Yeah if its the larger head then its an RD46. That what you have in yours NJV6?

Nope, on mine the rear is the RD154, for the 9.5 inch diff.

Might be worth a mention, overhauled the passenger side inner cv on my 93 V23 and when sourcing parts from a 91 V23 found the diff input shaft to be about 3mm smaller, although the cv's were the same size. So somewhere between 91 & 93 the diff size changed and the lockers will be different. Cheers Andy.
