Finally crawled under my new 05Rubi recently
and found that they put the locker pumps on
the skidplate in front of the drain plug for
the xfer case.... WTF..... Do I have to remove
them to change the fluid? What if I wanted to engage
the lockers in water? wouldn't the pumps suck water,
if they happen to be in water? What were the Engs' thinking
when placing the pumps there? Can I move them easily
without voiding the warranty?
holy jeepers
Any thoughts?

 

They also 'forgot' to put a high water vent on the Jeep transmissions,
so if you are in that deep, you are in big do do already....

I wonder if you could add a vent for the pumps? I pulled the stoopid
button vent out of my tranny and added a steel nipple for a line I ran
up by the battery to keep the water out when I take my CJ7 swimming.

They don't vent any of the transmissions. That is, they don't use the hoses
like on the diffs and the tcase.

Is it a one way valve or something like that?
