Tickets and an attorney are just the driving pass to drive fast legally.

Well....

The inspector stopped by College Station ford and decided not to warranty my truck because it's "modified." I asked which modification on my truck caused an axle shaft to fail. He said he couldn't answer that.

He then continues to tell me it's $2300 to re-build my rear housing. That seems steep for a few bearings, re-install, and fluid. Not to mention I have been talking to Hudlow axle to have 2 one-off axle shafts made. These will be stronger than stock.

I do need some info if anyone is willing. I need the journal bearing size and approximate length of the axle shaft.

Ford will be supplying the bearings and will be doing the repair.

This is a huge mess. My truck is in pieces 800 miles away and Ford continues to be relentless on cost, hassle, and headache. Not once have they called me with good news and just because they do not have any parts to repair it with, they have left it up to me completely to find info, parts and a manufacturer for them.

I'm sure it would be hard to do, but legally they HAVE to be able to prove that your modification cause their part to fail. It would prolly take twice as long to make it happen, but you might look into it. What all had you done to your truck?

Intake, exhaust, RPG stage 2, wheels and tires. Those are the only things that have been modified that are parts of the drive line and engine.

Thats total BS the truck isnt even on 37s. Ford obviously knew these axles where a weak link, and should replace them under warranty. Did you get @FordService involved?
