Brought my 2012 4 Door Automatic Rubicon to the dealership as it would not drive in 4 Lo. Basically would roll down hill then skid the tires and do this over and over. After a few visits to the service dept and a overnight in the bay they found that I have the wrong Transfercase. It has the 2.72 gearing versus 4.1 and the computer didn't know how to handle it in 4 lo since it was suppose to have a 4.1.
Just passing for SA something you all should consider checking

I would ask for a new jeep
Probably a Sport with rubicon stickers
Who knows what else they forgot to install
Do you have the sway bar disconnects and lockers??

Ref the poss of a swap, the jeep did not sit on the dealers lot it came from the factory this way. I plan to check the rotation of the tires to the drive shaft to see if I have the right gearing. Should be one turn of the tire to a little over 4 turns of the shaft if I understand correctly. It has the swaybar disco and the buttons for lockers. I will have to check the lockers when I can drive it in 4 lo.
I asked the dealer to pull the diff covers to make sure my gears were not what was locking up and causing damage. I will be able to see the locker but other then turning the tire I am not sure how to tell if they are 4.10's Anyone?

Your test you mentioned is correct -- except you actually want to do two complete turns of the tire, while counting the revolutions of the driveshaft.
I can't help but (half jokingly) wonder if Chrysler erred in my favor with my Sahara. Never thought to look, I just know 4-lo is ridiculously low.

That's a major quality and compliance issue .... I would demand a new vehicle or take it to the media.
Maybe the loaded employees will get a 6.4 Hemi mixed up with a 3.6L.. quick, everyone check under the hood.
