John, my wj is a 1999 and obviously obd2.  If i turn the key on-off-on-off-on, it will display the cel code on the odometer display.  Try that with yours; I wonder, since they are both Chrysler if it would work for yours.

 Should still start with a large vac leak if all else was good. I would more agree with a fuel issue and complete tuneup (not saying it doesn't have a vac leak as well)

97 and up has to be OBD2 compliant
OBD2 would have the 16 pin connector under the steering wheel
OBD1 will have a 6 pin interface connector under the hood near the drivers side

not sure how the older rubi lockers work but I know the locking pin on the jk's like to break so you cant lock them anymore

Yes so this happened back in early June. And yes, I mean rear locker.

I pulled my diff shortly after a 1000+ mile trip, and there was nothing that looked too bad inside. I have a link over at Rubicon Owners Forum hoping that someone has experienced this failure mode before. http://www.rubiconownersforum.com/forums/20-tj-drivetrain-horsepower/91858-03-rubicon-locker-problems.html

I have wheeled 2 times since then, and used this as my daily driver for the past 2 months. No bad noises, but I am going to pull the covers off again this weekend.


Now neither of my lockers work. Both pumps work and hold pressure, but something is wrong. I am going to pull the covers and jack the jeep up this weekend to verify that the diaphragm is moving.

replacement window leaning against the truck

Can I.... It's DOT approved!

I need to replace a couple pieces of glass, make some new rails and stiles and reglaze.



Update, tried to start it last night and no go.  It's getting fuel at the rail and spark.  It wants to start but just doesn't quite get there, I am thinking either clogged injectors from sitting or vacumn leak?  No CEL with key in ignition at any position or during cranking.

97 Dodges used OBDI correct, so should be able to read blink code?

Cant be shaft because later in the video i'm pretty sure you spin the tire again..   My guess is locker or nothing.
Is it acting up while driving now?

I assume you mean the rear since at one point your passenger rear tire wasn't turning.  from my experience when you break a shaft or locker, its much more intense of a pop.  but I know the rubi rear locker has gears inside for the limited slip that like to snap, so it might be a much more softer pop when those let go.


have you pulled your cover yet??

Maybe?  I don't think it was loud enough to be a locker breaking.

Does it sound like this video at 0:05 seconds in?
