Leaf Spring Failure

[uthunter]

Well, I just suffered the leaf spring failure that's going around. My truck has a shell on it and I have an F-350 for "truck" stuff so I've never had weight in my truck.

It's gotta be a manufacturer defect. The quote is $2200 to fix it.

I'm ticked and just waiting for the other side to fail too.

I tried to order an Extended Warranty from Ford because of this and the transmission issues, but they say my truck isn't eligible (2019 with 50,000 miles).

I'm not happy.

These options are all significantly less than that, while also being a bigger improvement:

If you wanted to stay stock I'd just pull one from a junk yard for ~$200 each. It's a pretty easy install.

I'm glad I got the APG Deaver leaf springs installed when I did. I also have a 2019 saber ranger with ~50k miles.

I had the same issue last spring (both sides) at just over 50,000 miles. I forget the exact steps, but I went to the Ford website and either started a chat session or filled out a form explaining my issue (I had already paid for the repair). It took several months, but Ford eventually sent me a debit card with an amount equal to my repair cost (including tax). Ford actually called me several times to get details about my issue. They noted they had records that I have bought new Fords many times over the decades and I suspect that may have helped my cause. I had also just paid for the vent box replacement. Your results may vary, but it's worth a shot to see if Ford will help you...especially since there may be a small batch of bad springs on 2019 Rangers.

Anyone seen this on the 2020? I tow a few tones a year but it’s our 6000lb or so camper. I haven’t seen any issues. I will say that the suspension was broken in after towing and hasn’t changed since…which reminds me, I gotta adjust my headlights down a smidge.

Ranger Tremor multi-leaf springs from someone who upgraded might be cheap enough. New online about $380ea but imagine another $100 for shipping.
