Built for the ARB RD222 Air Locker Differential for GM 10-Bolt Axles - Rear, Steel Construction, Silver Finish, this ARB component delivers rugged durability, precise fitment, and trail-ready performance. Engineered for serious off-road use while maintaining everyday drivability.
The ARB RD222 Air Locker Differential is a high-performance traction aid designed to enhance off-road capability and on-road safety. Engineered for GM 10-Bolt axles with 8.5 to 8.6 inches of ring gear diameter, this differential provides instant lock at the flick of a switch, delivering 100 percent traction on demand. Its pneumatically operated locking system ensures reliable activation regardless of vehicle speed, allowing drivers to conquer challenging terrains with confidence. When engaged, the Air Locker prevents internal differential gears from rotating independently, tying both wheels directly to the ring gear for maximum traction. When disengaged, it functions as a standard open differential, ensuring smooth on-road driving and reducing driveline wear. Constructed from durable steel and finished in a corrosion-resistant silver coating, this differential is built to withstand harsh environments and demanding conditions. It is specifically designed for rear axle applications on select Chevrolet and GMC models from 2004 to 2012, including the Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and others. The ARB RD222 features a 1.31-inch shaft diameter, 30 spline count, and a gear ratio of 2.73, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance. Installation is straightforward, making it a reliable upgrade for off-road enthusiasts seeking maximum traction and control. Please note that this product is not suitable for freight shipping and carries a Prop 65 warning for cancer and reproductive harm as per regulations. Enhance your vehicle’s off-road capabilities with the ARB RD222 Air Locker Differential and experience superior traction in all driving conditions.
