Tomorrow will be day 10 with the rubi sitting at the dealership. I was going to post this in the original thread WOL created way back because I had a question.

What parts were replaced when the rear locker broke? Because it sounds like it's pretty substantial but my question is what could of been broken during shipping of said replacement part.....TWICE. When I think electronic locker I think of a metal finger that locks the rear end, what could break during shipping?

Thank god the third replacement part for the rear end has been overnighted and it *should* be all set. I'm hoping I have the same experience as everyone else on this board that had this issue corrected where it doesn't return because my god..10 days!! That and I'm sitting on a lift waiting to go in, sliders, and a bumper is on the way.

I'm hoping for a pretty informative service slip on what they did so if it does happen again and when I have my 2.5 BB installed it won't be the instant reason as to why my locker hosed.

Anyone have a similar experience with the rear locker being repaired? What was actually replaced?

Other then waiting 10 days to have my rubi back I will say this dealership has cooperated as best they could and has been super in the past about providing top service! So this is why I'm in such disbelief this could happen so many times in a row haha.

I had the same problem with my front locker they sent two defective lockers in a row. Damn rubicon has been sitting at the dealer from the day after thanksgiving. Sad thing is i took it in for the gt-40 recall and a leaking axle seal and they managed to screw up the front locker and it takes forever to get replacements. Then while the tech was driving it around the parking lot with the front locker engaged he snapped the front ujoint nad screwed up the front hub.

I am telling you i will never go back to this dealership again for anything
