If you do a search, you will find some threads on this.

Yes, the installers messed up my rear sensor and had to replace it. The lockers still locked

The first thing my shop did was put it 4 wheel drive to amke sure that it worked. I just carried it back for a 500 mile checkup. No problems and had Rockcrusher difs installed.
