Getting the Wheeling Fever
I'm back ..but no news. I'm going to make a list of what everyone suggested and give it to her and tell her to give that to the dealer and say "fix it!" I'll still post new info when I get it. I think the tires are stock, I asked her how she puts it in 4WD and she showed me a button on the dash. I dont know - I have a 92 wrangler..mine has a stick to put in in 4WD.
Okay going by the thread
1) limited slip differential broken
2)speed sensor
3) differential gear additive
4)esp system
did I miss anything?

Need a Spot
I upgraded my zj limited to bigger gears(front and back) and added limited slip to front end.

Mechanic did great job but didn't put abrasive additive into front diff and it pulled left and right.

Once we added it worked great!

PS: Most garages, JLube & EZ don't know about required additive and dont put it in. Most likely a mechanic drained and refilled diff without additive in back diff. Get kit which is like radiator test tube and test additive level or presume it contains none and ADD some until corrected...

Hell Jim, I should hope so. Some women HAVE fishtails. Here's picture proof... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I had my wrangler diff lube changed at a 10 minute oil place against my better judgement. they talked me into it. Thats when my diff started leaking and making noises. never again.
