Devils advocate here...so this was an issue under warranty prior to any mods and repaired by Ford under warranty? If so then maybe that's why it's being covered still as an existing issue and not being looked at as a non covered warranty claim ? I'm asking ...I know my tundra I took in when it was brand new with a hard shift occurring under warranty..Toyota logged it and no issue but said for the lifetime of my truck if that transmission goes out it's covered since I brought it in with the hard shift issue. 330k miles later..no issues but hard shift still occurs occasionally. I asked the Toyota dealership last time it was serviced if that was still true..and was shown in the computer it was logged..and would be covered. Not comparing truly the same issue or example but know my Trans is covered ....or so they say lol

Yeah so that brings up issue of whether some modification may be actually contributing to the issue. I mod my stuff too, but, FRF is replete with examples of people who lifted the truck and suffered a failure. Off the top
CV, transfer case, front shaft(?) and seals. The guy who lunched his transfer case was protesting the crappy design, before reluctantly admitting having something like a 2 inch lift.

The problem started under 10k miles and bone stock but it’s cute how you guys defend Ford so fervently and seem to have poor reading comprehension skills. There’s no way ford could ever engineer something stupidly.

The difference is that most of the people in this discussion are willing to admit wrong. So let’s hypothesize based on the known facts.

let’s say your problem started stock. let’s say you got it fixed. Let’s say you then figured it’s ok to modify, lift the truck and then you have another failure after lifting the truck.

How do you know that the lift didn’t cause the new failure? For that matter, how do we know it did? Unless we’re sending the failed parts to qualified engineers to do a post mortem failure analysis, it’s not possible to say with certainty.

That’s the problem here. It’s not a “known issue” to have an axle shaft seal fail 4 times, period.

We would definitely be hearing a LOT of chatter if that were the case.

My 2017 has 58,000 miles. Oil pan has been fixed but the stub axle seal has now been fixed 3 times and it’s still leaking. I love this truck but it’s spent 35 days in the shop and going in for its 4th front diff seal fix.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

How many times did the axle seal fail BEFORE being lifted?

if it failed more then 1x why would you lift it?

I'm tracking with you 100%

Because 2 days after it got home from being “fixed” and still bone stock I had new gear oil under my truck That’s how I know. At this point I contacted the Ford rep and talked only with her. You guys playing internet Hero’s when you have 10% of the facts are so helpful. Thanks.

10% is plenty. How else are we gonna go off half cocked around here?

That’s kind of why I asked. It wasn’t an up front revelation about the lift.

So, from what you’ve revealed, it leaked once, was repaired and 2 days later it was leaking again, do I have that right?

That is, with almost total certainty a repair done incorrectly or incompletely. Or, to quote @FordTechOne: “A workmanship issue”.

Boomerang repairs - reported as fixed, but wasn’t and noticed very soon after leaving service is >90% the result of poor craftsmanship, but let’s move on.

So, you had it fixed, the fix did not take. That’s 2 failures. Did you get it fixed again, or did you go straight to a lift with a leaking seal?

We’re not here because we don’t like you. We’re here because you have a Rap, and we might benefit from some online insight some day so despite the rocky mountain sized chip on your proverbial shoulder, you asked about a problem and people took time out to respond. Unfortunately, you withheld some pretty important facts, so everyone here trying to respond with something useful was basically being misled.

shoot straight, and you’ll get honest feedback.
