What do you mean you can not steer?

sounds like your front locker is still engaged

Your locker is DEFINITELY engaged. I had the total opposite problem with mine. The Front Locker would not engage and actual failed :mad: anti-rotation clip broke...here's a pic http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/...K/299a9427.jpg

Probably installing ARB's or OX Lockers next week...Still not sure what will work best with my Rubi

ya, it is mainly when i slow down that i can't steer, could it be power steering pump?

that is what i thought so i took out the fuse and the light went off because of the fuse but it is still hard to steer when i am going somewhat slow

it could be the locker, i see what you are talking about now, i just am not sure because it is mainly when i am slowing down and the esp light comes on and automatically brakes...could it be that the locker isnt FULLY unlocked?

looks like i may be getting new axles... took my locker out and tried to get it fixed and still no go :mad: so then i cleaned all the connectors and it still wont work :mad::mad: so i think i am going to just get new dynatrac jk axles with new electric lockers, gears, and axles in them so that i just have it all done when i get 37s and my hemi :thumbsup::thumbsup::clap:

BIG RED BUBBA Oct 28, 2010 06:14 PM

ok so no new axles, but my axle was magnetized so i had it demagnetized and then the locker still wouldnt work so right now it is all disconnected so i can drive it, i think it might be the actuator above the axle for the locker, anyone else have any issues like this?

Man, I am surprised you didn't have a major breakage of some sort from driving around on the pavement with the front locked. Going normal road speeds and turning had to put hella strain on your axle components. That says quite a bit for the stock axles I guess if they can take that! You have chromo shafts or anything?

My lockers will stay engaged sometimes until I back up a hair. Never stick like that though. Good luck with it. When you getting a hemi?

BIG RED BUBBA Oct 31, 2010 12:46 PM

no, nothing actually broke i was surprised too, i bought a new actuator and it is being installed tomorrow but then if that doesnt work i am going to buy some eaton elockers and have them wired in to work with my stock switches :thumbsup:
