Went out this morning get in the Jeep and the rear feels like its got a spool in it. I pull back in the driveway having to power around the corner one tire chirping all the way. Has 3000 miles on it. Its a 2014 sport Anyone ever see this before? I've been a mechanic for 35 yrs never felt a posi lock up like that before. Dread the thought of taking it in and let some idiot touch my Jeep

Being that you don't have a Rubicon, that is odd. You sure you weren't in 4WD by mistake?

Pull the cover and look inside. Something is wrong. I had a 93 blazer do the same thing, would have to saw the wheel back and forth for it to release. I just thought that the limited slip was hanging up. Did it a few times, then it spit pieces of diff through the back cover before I was able to get it checked out.

Was it cold there last night? Your ebrake could have frozen up. It feels that way if it freezes and has happened to me on my old truck before.

We have 51 weeks of Summer down here.........we don't get our allotted 2 days of "Winter" until January so you can omit cold weather being a factor........I'm guessing the LSD hung up....maybe check the fluid level or take it in and have the dealer pull the cover and inspect it just to be sure......hate to have something be wrong and break while you're out and about and end up getting stuck......and if by chance that happens holler I'll come get you :thumb:
