Hi Din Cane

I have been looking for some kind of diff locker for the terracan without sucess. If you have any luck please let me know.

Piet

there is a guy in US that is willing to do the job but only for at least 15 lockers.

www.tibus-offroad.com

he also requires the axle.

 

 

looking for the same

any one know if the same axle is build it other cars ?

 

so far NO!!!

 

i do have a diif locker for the Terracan

 

Joe,

Its a Korean locker fully automatic.

its also available for the Petrol version.

i orederd it an as soon as installed i will let you know.

its suppose to be similar to the Detroit Locker as far as i can undersatnd.

enclosed a reply from the sales guy in Korea.

The Tanker Locker's operation is fully automatic. Designed to send the engine power to the wheels with the most traction, the Locker will help get you where you want to go. While traveling straight the Locker will lock the axles together similar to a spool. However, when the wheels need to differentiate in a turn, the Locker will allow the outside wheel to rotate faster to complete the turn. The internal gears on the Locker will overrun each other to allow this differentiation.

When operating off-road, the Locker will always send the engine power to the wheels that need it most. For example, if you are rock crawling and one wheel is in the air (complete loss of traction), the wheel on the ground will receive the engine power and keep you going. Whether it be snow, sand, mud, ice, etc... the Locker will give you the traction you need.

Hi Din Cane

This is good news. When do you expect to have it fitted and tested?

As soon as you have more info please inform me, I am sure it will make an big difference in the bundu.

i hope this year.

as soon as its on the vehicle i let you all know.

for some reason it seems like a Detroit locker that costs more than twice.

 

Din Cane

Am interested on feedback from the diff locker. Have you installed it and what is your finding?

Piet Venter

As a matter of fact NO.

Still have a problem with an automatic locker....

Really prefer to have a manually controlled one.

Did you ever drive an automatic one?

Din

 

Hi Din

No did not drive na auto locker and do not have any xperience with auto lockers. I also prefer a manual one.

What is the details of the auto locker supplyer so that I can contact them from my side?

Piet

Din,

I am looking to install a rear and perhaps a front ARB Air Locker on my Terracan. But I can't get the prices from ARB until I know the technical details about the diffs. I thought they were borrowed form the Pajero, but according to Hyundai, that is not the case.
They can't tell me the exact details, and I have been adviced to let a mechanic (the car is still under warranty) take apart the diffs to get the details. But this is expensive.
Do you have the details of the diffs? The Pajero is as follows, but is not identical to the Terracan:

>RD110 - Front Air Locker.
>RD25 - Rear Air Locker for disc brake models.

Dane,

the Pjero and the Terracan are not the same.
the axle is completely different.
we took it a part and you cant use an ARB Pajero locker on it.
if you have some more news ill be happy to know.

take care

din

It was ARB's best guess that the diff was the same as Pajero, seeing that the Galloper was Pajero based. But I spoke with Hyundai, and they told me it was a completely different diff, but they were unable to give me the information ARB needed to determine which ARB diff is required. A bit disappointing. Hyundai's advice was to get an authorized ARB dealer to take the diff apart to determine what diff is needed. But I live en Denmark, and there is only one ARB dealer here, and it's a long way away from where I live. Plus I first have to drive there to get the diff taken apart, then have it put together again and drive over there again when the ARB diff arrives. Plus I have to pay for the work as I have no idea how to assemble a diff once taken apart.
That's why I am looking for someone who has already taken the diff apart and retrieved the information that ARB needs to send the right diff. But there are not a lot of Terracan owners who have tried this I guess?
Din, do you know if the diff/rear axle of the Terracan is 100% Hyundai made or is it adopted from somewhere?

I found a diff locker for the rear.
Its automatic one.
The diff is completely different from all other diff; i can only guess that Hyundai developed it on their own.
after we will finish with the installation of the rear one i will post my comments.

Looking forward to hearing about it
Where did you find it?

Din Cane
Yes please us feedback on the diff locker. I am sure there are other's intersted in it.
Pwven

as we found out, the locker was planned for a non LSD diff, as my car does have the LSD.
the locker is here and i placed an order with the local Hyundai dealer for non LSD gear diff, i should have it next week
as soon as its installed i'll let you know.
since i do real offroad its should be great

Din, I have a non-LSD Terracan. How much did you pay the the non-LSD difflock?

around 600 $

USD 600 for a locker... that is cheap. ARB is about USD 2-2500.
What make are you using and how is the locker operated?

the locker is automatic and works great
similar to Detroit or easy-locker

Din, I would like to try it, what's the make and where can I buy it?
