Am I missing something? Cost of linelock?
 

So my linelock is acting up. It's about 9 years old. I was planning to either rebuilding or just replace it, but I notice something VERY odd

You can buy the Solenoid (just the Solenoid) for $170.

Or a kit: Solenoid, activation button, fuse holder, fuse and mounting screws for $95

So what logic is behind that? I tried calling Hurst to verify if they are the same units, hung up after being on hold for 20 minutes.

I bought the cheapest solenoid I could find, it was around $30-40 shipped on ebay, and used my own adapters. Its been flawless. Does the kit come with the same hurst noid? I know they are supposed to be rebuildable but for the cost of a cheap one, why bother?

agreed on that, summit has some cheaper ones for like $40 and they all have the same size inlet/outlet
plus summit takes like 2 days to arrive

Cheapo summit brand, 40 bucks

Been flawless operation

Thank you.

But how odd is that?

I'll probably start with a rebuild kit. I think what is happening is that the unit is not fully releasing and the brake light stays on, sometimes for a few minutes, last time it did not go off and there is slight pressure in the lines. I can spin the front wheels, but need a bit more force then normal. I bleed the brakes and all is good, until I use the line lock again.

I would rather do the hurst since my lines are bult for that unit, the other look like the ports are in different locations.

just give it a lil brake n lots of gas. no need for ll
