As the title states, the dif on my 2024 truck has split open with about 2500 miles on the odometer. There is about a 1/4" split down the side of it (roughly 3 o clock position, horizontally), and ford is not wanting to cover it. My skid plate has no damage, and only sign of any wear is some lightly scuffed tow hooks. I would think that if I bottomed out hard enough for it to split, the skid plate would be damaged, and the split would be vertical from some sort of contact - correct me if I am wrong as I may very well be ignorant to what could/has happened. Has anyone else dealt with anything similar? If so, advice on how to proceed and try to get it covered? For what its worth, my dealer tried to help (so I think) and approved it on their end/submitted it to ford who has since denied it
