  1. Update: New Front Differential Implodes in 2 miles

    Iā€™m on my third front diff and transfer case. Iā€™m doing the lemon law route if that helps. Ford customer service isnā€™t helpful, but youā€™re lucky you got the part quickly. First time mine had to be replaced was in the shop for 28 days. Iā€™m currently on day 50 for the third front diff replacement...
  2. Second failed transfer case

    I wonder if the motion of a hard turn left or right while the transfer case is locked in 4h or 4l and some of the wheels have or donā€™t have traction could cause the failure? In combination with possible low or dirty driveline fluids? In my case I was also definitely trying to turn the wheels in...
  3. Was it anybody here who made the wanker list?

    The parking job would get an eye roll from me, whatevs. If itā€™s fun for the driver then šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø. But Iā€™ll be damned if I get shamed on this forum for putting caramel and extra foam on my macchiato!
  4. Second failed transfer case

    well hearing it was an equipment failure pleases me greatly. As when I returned from the day and informed my husband I got stuck and it sounds like the transmission is wonky again he very timidly asked me ā€œare you sure itā€™s not user error? Since it happened twice?ā€ Of note, yes I do plan on...
  5. Second failed transfer case

    I was not on a city street. It was definitely picture 2, driving down the road in 4h but I guess I should have been in 4A. In fact, Here is the exact picture of where I was stuckā€¦ā€¦.. and thank you for that very succinct explanation of what the transfer case does in 4A and 4h. Iā€™ve peeled...
  6. Second failed transfer case

    both roads covered in a fairly powdery snow, traveling on it at under 30mph. Both times I think I got stuck because I was centered up on a snow bank. Attempted digging out first, was already aired down. First time I eventually got out with digging and 4L with rear lockers. Second time I was...
  7. Second failed transfer case

    hrm, šŸ¤Ø ok I thought the lockers were supposed to be used when you had wheels spinning. This is not what they are for? But yes, if the transfer case failed when I think it did then it was probably at the point when I was stuck and put the rear locker on in an attempt to get un stuck
  8. Second failed transfer case

    šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø fully kicking myself for not using the GOAT modes. I think part of me just brushed them off as a fancy gimmick. Guess I know better now šŸ˜œ we can all laugh at me because Iā€™m definitely laughing at myself * * only because itā€™s being repaired under warranty
  9. Second failed transfer case

    I only have the rear lockers on my non SAS black diamond, but I did engage them as soon as I realized the wheels were spinning
  10. Second failed transfer case

    If thatā€™s what it sounds like when the planetary gears are destroyedā€¦ā€¦.then yes
  11. Second failed transfer case

    Yep thatā€™s accurate, I was in 4h both times
  12. Second failed transfer case

    Well thatā€™s gnarly. So aside from trying to avoid spinning the tires how does one avoid doing this?
  13. Second failed transfer case

    I will gladly offer up the technician write up when itā€™s given to me if that would shed any light on whatā€™s caused the problem. It does sound like they arenā€™t really going to do much investigating at the actual repair shop itā€™s at currently though and have just decided to turf the part to ford...
  14. Second failed transfer case

    I wish it WAS the RTR grill! Would have saved me a long phone conversation with ford customer service and the embarrassing admission that maybe I shouldnā€™t have bought a first model year vehicle šŸ˜©
  15. Second failed transfer case

    I could use a lesson in how to change driveline fluids once I get my broken vehicle back
  16. Second failed transfer case

    I very seriously would gladly take the help!
  17. Second failed transfer case

    NorCal-Sacramento area
  18. Second failed transfer case

    Also super helpful. Thank you šŸ™šŸ» I wish the dealer would listen when I asked them to check the fluids. Looks like Iā€™m about to have to crawl up under there myself and learn a few things
  19. Second failed transfer case

    Excellent. Noted, logged, and will do. This is the kind of info Iā€™m on here for and I greatly appreciate it.
