cruiser54 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Trans won't cause a locker to do anything. Maybe there's a problem with the locker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manchenick Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 i might just be nuts also on the locker part the locker is almost brand new but i will check that out also should add it is jumping to like 4k rpms and higher when downshifting and it surges in gear and will jump 500 rpms and go up and down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87manchenick Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 my dad confirmed today that it is not the locker when it downshifts it scares me and a swerve left and yes we have it down to a trans problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser54 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Unplug the speed sensor off the transfer case. Clean out any crap in the connector. Do the same with the trans connectors in the engine bay. click on the link in my signature and there some instructions with photo on the plugs in the engine bay.
