My first attempt to head for the hills was unfortunately an attempt only. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> Something has gone seriously afoul! The initial test drive produced the normal ratcheting but that didn't last long. It immediatly quit unlocking on turns (the tires would scuff), then it started unlocking and sharply relocking going straight. It would randomly happen on either side, sending me from one side of the lane to the other, then back. Then it got to the point of leaving a stop light, BOTH sides would unlock and it felt like it was jumping up and down. I was only about a mile from home so I put it in 4high, took it easy and made it home.
The jeep and I are both currently cooling down. (presently here in Fresno, CA at 7:00pm it is 103. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />)
