Well after succesfully pulling a jeep out!!!! LMAO I was getting out of the trail and merging into traffic, I forgot that I was still in 4lo with the diff locked and accelerated into the traffic and within seconds "SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM" on the DIC!!!:confused: :confused: Well when I got home I pulled the DTC with my Programmer and C0388 was the DTC it threw. I looked in the repair manual and followed the trouble shooting. First step check the coil in the diff!! Well if its good it gives me a good reason to change the gear oil in the process right. Well as soon as I opened her up to my horror this is what I saw!!!

So I head over to the cadillac dealership since I was referred to go their for maintenance. Part "Not available"!!:mad: Well let me order it, right how much $15 bucks, easy street!!! How about that Eaton locker part..."talk to eaton" WTF:confused:so now I am with the eaton guy on the horn which by the way has excellent customer service and get the parts ordered including axle seals. Total about $250 dollars. Talk to the dealer on an estimate for the install. $1800......At this point im keeling over!!! Stealership indeed!!! So I removed the broken lock piece snipped the wires and closed her back up and Just decided to wait till later to get the locker fixed!! AGGHHH!!!:raar:If I had more down time for this I would do it my damn self!! I figured since the axle shafts are coming out any way time to upgrade those diffs to 4.88 gears for those 40" tires I been looking into!!!:popcorn:
