Hi all. I would like to know if anyone here has had any dealings with Auburn Gear. Particularly with the Ected locker. I have an Ected in front and rear ( d30& d35), they have been in now for three months. The first time I used the front locker I had a hard time unlocking it, after I turned it off I had to go in reverse, turning hard left and then hard right for about a quarter mile,( all this time I was in a sandy wash) before it finally disengaged. The second time I used it, it would not disengage at all, had to drive home with front fully locked. I took it to the local Auburn distributor and they said it was the coil. Auburn said to ship the complete locker to them and they would diagnose the problem. Meanwhile I have been without "Mater" for two weeks now and am in desperate need of an off road fix. Now my questions. Has anyone ever had to send in their locker for "diagnoses"? Did they pay for shipping to and from? Did they replace the locker or just the part that was "diagnosed" as bad. I have tried to have a civil conversation with them, but they act like I am trying to screw them out of a million dollars. I think I should of went with ARB air lockers instead but I wanted a diff that would act like a limited slip while off and then fully locked when engaged and the Ected is the only one that would do that. Hope to hear some thoughts on this. Thanks in advance. Gary
