The problem with it failing for me was that it sent my jeep into limp mode which was unsat. I already had manual disconnects "just in case" but then you are lugging around that big worthless motor once it fails. 2012 Rubicon and it died at 10k miles. Went for a Currie Antirock and never looked back.

 

Run it until it fails. If it fails before a trail ride then just remove your links for the time being.

Mine lasted 5 yrs and I now run the EVO kit and it's perfect. Quick disconnects do the same thing.

 

Can it get stuck where it won't reconnect? That would be worse that not being able to disconnect.

 

Yes, that happened to me after some water got in before a trip to North Carolina and wouldn't reconnect. Bought the evo and still didn't work..the whole motor was bad. Dealer replaced under warranty and been fine ever since. I use it often too with 85k plus miles.

 

Mine failed after some water penetration. I never liked the damn thing anyways, the end links always came loose. AEV Disabled, JKS discos and never looked back. Failed at about 15k
