I have a brand new set of really cool anodized black mishimoto aluminum locking lugs nuts. $65 shipped.

He did say they “topped it up” which made me think odd when he said it. Now it all makes sense. I’ll go on about doing the service and replacing the cover with my new arb unit.

I’m not surprised. They don’t care that we recommend new buyers.

Well then me being a ford employee I should automatically have a 100 score. I can tell you this, if I have this issue and they don’t cover nearly all of the replacement, I’ll never give another relative, friend or anyone else for that matter a plan code to buy another ford product. I’ve helped...

Well I feel like it would look better removed and who needs a handle when there’s tubes there.

So then it is safe to assume they didn’t remove the cover since there’s no c clips to remove to remove the axle? And if that’s the case, they didn’t drain and refill the rear ended with new fluid. Now I need to do the service anyway.

What’s the purpose of the hootus looking plastic thing and can it be removed?

So the axle comes with the bearing and seal alread installed on it? This is nothing like an 8.8.

Which cylinder head? Right or left? Guess I need to keep an eye on both of these potential issues on my wildtrak now. Not very comforting to know your new low mile engine will have been apart so deep internally.

That’s my first thought. Fords are kind of notorious for this but usually on high mileage engines.

He said they didn’t replace the bearing, which is just dumb. If youre in there and replacing the axle and seal, why not the bearing too. Especially if they think there’s some reason to replace the axle. I know that’s what I would do if I was doing the repair.

A cylinder head? Have they said why? Sounds like a possible oil galley plug which sometimes are just pressed in ball bearings.

Well, no new info to disclose on the sale matter. The service write had no idea why the sale was replaced instead of just the seal and was clearly not motivated to ask the tech. Either way, the issue is fixed.

Just a simple positive/negative connection.

Has anyone used anything besides a kicker key amp? I despise that brand. I’m a huge RF fan though and would love to use an amp by D’Amore engineering like the e660.5 to power everything. Has anyone successfully used anything other than the kicker stuff?

Well to be fair, my son may have caused this one if indeed my theory is correct as to why they’re replacing the axle. That’s all I’m gonna say about that, though. Ill ask for more details tomorrow when I pick it up.

lol. You just like doing axle work do ya?

What did you do?

No, they bolt to the body mount hardware.

Yeah my 23 wildtrak was part of the original recall. We had zero issues with it but had the recall performed. Immediately after the recall we started having the issues of just a black screen from the rear view. I asked about a new software update just today and was informed of your post info. I...
