  1. Front diff. Seized at 27k!

    Update on my truck: Warranty repairs were completed today, new front diff assembly. The front pinion gear was broken, but there was apparently alot of play in the "ring gear" i think they said. When the front axles were removed and the tech believes it was improperly backlashed, as everything...
  2. Front diff. Seized at 27k!

    Phil, Thanks for the chiming in and the kind words, one major theory from the service writer has to do with the 4x4 not disengaging properly but saying it had in the dash, and therefore I was driving in 4wd for the last few weeks since I had last used it during some heavy rain on the farm. I...
  3. Front diff. Seized at 27k!

    Hum, I would think if it was leaking, I would have smelled something, seen something leaking/wet under or something align those lines. But who knows maybe they just didn't fill it enough from the factory to begin with. Your right they don't generally wish to want to diagnose why things...
  4. Front diff. Seized at 27k!

    Sounds like physics, so ummmm :whew::confused: I'll take your word on that, but it sounds right and sciencey.
  5. Leaking from front differential at ~1100 miles

    Ever get your part? Also be careful, my front diff seized 2 days ago on the interstate! Now waiting for an answer as to if/when Ford is going to get the part, but I have a loaner. A 4Runner at that, which I'm liking half tempted after they repair my truck to trade it in for a Tacoma and just...
  6. Front diff. Seized at 27k!

    Yeah, it was weird, the only rolling backwards that is. Whenever I went and tried to push or drive it forward it literally felt like the front brakes where locked up. It took the dealer like an hour or two just to get it in the shop, the had to put tire dollies under the fronts and literally...
  7. Front diff. Seized at 27k!

    Just the Ford Fox 2.0 lift, that was installed by a Ford dealer.
  8. Front diff. Seized at 27k!

    No leaks, no puddles, no major hard use 4x4 other then occasional dirt roads at lower speeds, and then typical midwestern winter usage. Truck was bought and brought home BRAND NEW at 45 miles by me, so its not a used rode hard put up wet situtation. Have been diligent about maintenance. Its...
  9. Front diff. Seized at 27k!

    So, 2 days ago while I was driving my 2020 Ranger 4wd on the interstate, my truck started to shake VIOLENTLY!!! Then smell BAD!!! Right as I went to get off the exit ramp, it stopped, like the collision control was activated or someone slammed on just the front brakes. The whole front axle...
  10. Is changing to the locking diff from xlt sport plug and play?

    My S.O. has 2 of his buddies that work wrecking yards looking for a wrecked one with and Elocker and if they find one he wants to see about adapting it or hooking up a manual connection to activate it via 12v switch but there aren't many trucks around here and well they dont tend to get wrecked...
  11. Repeated P0461 in my new 2020 Ranger!!

    I never once complained about cash, I said that IME I have had cash beaters that gave me less to no problems then this truck has given me. Not that this truck has given me alot of issues so far, but at 3k Ive experiences a windhsield that cracked within 3 miles, this check engine light, and the...
  12. Repeated P0461 in my new 2020 Ranger!!

    I would like to hope so, the fact its only its 2nd model year here kind of turned me off from buying it, but it was extremely hard to pass on the financing deal I got, especially when the comparable Toyota was 15k more and 12 months shorter 0% term. I hope this is the only hiccup I have to...
  13. Repeated P0461 in my new 2020 Ranger!!

    If anything i am the exact opposite and tend to refuel at the very last moment.... which i hear can kill fuel pumps but amazingly I haven't yet..... ** knock on wood ** I am honestly a toyota fan and had amazing luck with my older hilux pickups and Tacoma's. I loved my 02 Prerunner Tacoma but...
  14. Ford Fox 2.0 installed today.

    Am i suppose to recieve more fordpass points on parts installs? I had my lift done by an authorized Ford dealer and paid for it, did not use any points but the only points increase I've seen was 100 points for a service visit.
  15. Repeated P0461 in my new 2020 Ranger!!

    So this code has popped up numerous times 3x on me now. The first time the tech talked to me like im just a dumb blonde girl.... which I am blonde but not dumb... he told me blah blah never top off your gas tank not even a couple cents this overextends the float and causes issues etc. I don't...
  16. Front leveling kit, best bang for buck?

    I apperciate it, honestly Im considering keeping my stock 17s and just putting 1.5inch billet spacers in. Actually Im from Eastern Nebraska but go west to CO, Western Nebraska and Wyoming as well as Southern Utah alot.... and out there once you get off the highway its mostly wagon trail BLM...
  17. Front leveling kit, best bang for buck?

    I heavily considered the Old Man Emu kit as well and if I was doing a more overland style build as oppose to the more prerunnery farm road gravel trail truck I would have went with the Old Man kit, I especially love their rear leaf spring packs and if I end up getting a bed based fold out tent I...
  18. Front leveling kit, best bang for buck?

    It looks nice, but your comparing apples to oranges. AKA a spacer kit vs an offroad designed new coilovers/springs and shocks kit. Spacers reusing the existing coilovers/springs setup which in the trucks I rode in exaggerated the wallowy mushy ride, but for looks well it looks and sits just...
  19. Front leveling kit, best bang for buck?

    Gfitz beat me to it, but that is whom I went thru for my kit..... sure there are other kits out there for less money as discussed earlier in this thread. Depending on you and your usage and needs they may work just fine but honestly I've been very pleased with mine thus far.
  20. Changing from manual to power seats, whats needed?
