2024 cracked front dif - resolved

[Zach Gen3]

So where is the fluid or was there any?

I would have to imagine there was at some point, but I never noticed it. Which is interesting because Im the type of guy who will typically check both sides of the truck for dings if people close up by me just to be safe. I dont see how that would have gotten past me

Do these trucks have the same front diff as regular F150’s?

Different - at least the internals are. Id believe the external housing is also

You can see the fluid residue. I bet they deny because it was ran 1800 miles without fluid.

Even if they try that, I have a message from dealer saying not to rush bringing it in. That should cover me

Nothing a little JB Weld and some band clamps can’t fix.

Then back it up with a few rolls of duct tape and use grease for lube.

So, what was the conclusion?

As long as the hubs weren't engaged it would be ok. (I wouldn't but it's possible) It would be EASY to see if it's been run without lube and axles engaged, ask P-Diddy.

I would not count that, I had a limited that vibrated a bit, the first thing they did was rebuild the transfer case as they thought the drive line was spinning to fast. I guess on some models it turns at 60% speed so you can shift into 4x4 without destroying it or the clutch’s in the transfer case.
