There are many KJ's with front and rear ARB air lockers who have ESP, so yes, we do know for sure.

i'm in no hurry for it.. when it comes out it comes out. atleast i'll know it's right and should have a smooth install and good performance. so whenever it happens it does. i just wonder how my ESP will react with a locker? or if it will complicate the install.


According to ARB, lockers do not have any positive or negative impact concerning the ESP. ESP impacts the brakes, not the lockers. :wink:


great to know... thank you!

In my thread when I was looking for opinions (Locking for a final answer) on what I should put in no one knew for sure how a locker would interact with ESP.
The locker being a locker....not a specific brand. I chose the DL because it seemed no one had a bad thing to say about the company (except me in the end). The ARB locks on demand but even then, no one knew for sure how it will work with ESP (when locked).

If there are people with ESP and lockers out there, they did not state their experiences on here as far as I can tell. The techs at Eaton were also unwilling to give an up or down vote on interactions with ESP.

As far as I know, if a KJ owner with ESP installs a locker they are a pioneer blazing new ground and should share their experiences with the world. Which was my plan before the bad times.

yes i do and it works great. and im not really sure, but do the '02 sports have ESP? i dont think mine does, but if it does, then the DTT works great with it. i have had no problems with it at all.

The thing about the ARB locker is its selectable. Your not likely to be engaging your lockers at highway speeds anyway, just slow trail crawling or straight ahead get through the mud situations. The rest of the time ESP will see it as an open diff. No issues.

I choose ARB's front so I could continue to use full-time 4wd. I was worried that it would do strange things. I don't have ESP so I might have gone DL for the rear, but since I felt my only choice up front was ARB, didn't make sense to mix and match, beside I had to buy the compressor anyway.

Let me stress this one more time. I called ARB and specifically asked about the KJ, ESP, and AIR LOCKERS. ARB has sold hundreds of ARB lockers that have been successfully installed in KJ’s with ESP all over the world. There have been no documented concerns with the ARB air lockers in the front or rear differentials. ARB went on to say that the ESP system works only with the brakes and has nothing to do with the differentials. When setting aside all biased views, ARB does the most research and real-world testing to design a locker that will perform exactly the way a locker is designed to perform. In this case scenario, it’s pretty safe to say that you get what you pay for. :wink:

i agree completely... you do get what you pay for. and when you think about it.. it all makes sense. if a locker (an aussie for example) makes sure both the tires are spinning at the same rate at the same time the ESP wont think any wheel is slipping therefore not applying any control to either wheel. so if the front and rear are locked it's as if your KJ has no ESP. the only thing i wonder about is with something like a DTT in the front where as a Limited slip it will allow 1 wheel to turn more than the other instead of being completely locked. in that case i think the ESP would work just like it does on an open diff if there was excessive spinning. oh well.. only one way to find out

Sounds good but unless you have ARB's F/R and both locked the ESP still can go haywire on you,it also is taking into acount how fast the front wheels(both) are spinning compared to the rear wheels(both) also along with each wheel seperatly.It shouldn't kick in as often but could play havoc in sertain situations when you don't want it to.

I am so glad I don't have to worry about ESP poo. I am going with the powertrax for what it is worth. I met a guy today that runs it on a blazer with 37s and he loves it. So I am sure it will work for my 31s.

Mine kicks in when I have the cruise control set and it needs to shift down when I go uphill :evil: Very annoying. On a brighter note: I just found out that I am exempt from emissions testing because diesels have to be tested on a dyno and someone with a light duty diesel and electronic traction control got their tranny trashed when the ETC when haywire on the rollers. I guess that's a silver lining of sorts anyway.

i have absolutely no complaints with my ESP i have to say it does it's job very well. Especially while offroading. if i'm on a very slippery surface where all tires have no traction the esp will spin one then both... then one. then both... then one.. then both trying to get traction. in a way it mimics having lockers. i have open diffs but there are a lot of times when all 4 of my wheels are spinning at once when none have traction. This is in 4 low (when the esp is supposed to be completely off). in 4 lo it does not cut out the throttle at all.. just helps with traction. when it's "on" in 4hi or 2hi it will cut the throttle/apple brakes when it feels a wheel slip. The only down fall is that it's not predictable. you never know when all 4 wheels are spinning and that only happens once your stuck. lockers are predictable.. and that's why i want them.
