Rear Locker Problem

Hey Everyone,

Have an issue on my 2016, the rear locker is locking at random, without the idiot light coming on. Is this something anyone has seen before?

Basically, twice I have noticed the rear tires binding when turning, the only way to get it to stop is to pull over and lock then unlock the rear diff. This has happened twice to me, once on off road and once this AM as I was turning from a stoplight.

I have made an appointment with my dealer for Thursday but I wanted to see if anyone has seen this before??

I also am having my dealer check out my bed, it does not line up with my cab on the drivers side, like the bed is crooked. Going to have the dealer look at that as well.

Really love this truck, I still miss the noise and ease of work from my 7.3, but this 6.7 puts a big smile on my face every time I drive it, I am getting over the 7.3

I don't recall reading anyone having problems with the rear locker turning on randomly.


Although the bed alignment issue seams to be common on a lot of these trucks including mine.

Hi scoutcamper,

I'm glad you're getting this into the hands of your dealer today; be sure to come back and tell us what they find out. What's the current mileage on your rig?

Crystal
