[QUOTE="Netix, post: 258133, member: 4587"] As i said.... Depending how you run your truck. If its a street queen on top you should never have problems... I kinda abuse the shit out of mine. Yes its my fault but i have no problems doing some mechanical work myself, dont mind the downtime. The guy that said others domt have problems you might not be aware but theres a few peeps on here that had shit break on top perch, they use their trucks as intended as well. To the previous poster theres something deff up with your 4lo and sounds like a problem i ran into on the trail... To explain further what symptoms i had and you can relate I was bogging down a muddy river grill height in 4lo and heard a fromt snapping sound every time the front wheels turned. I switched it to 4hi and the snapping noise wasnt as frequent. In 2wd no snapping noise at all.. After i got home amd jacked up my truck i found the following.. A snapped cv shaft Broken steering gear Broken steering pump Broken wheel hub The snapping noise in 4lo was caused my a cv shaft that broke the splines of a wheel hub. The steering gear and pump was felt in a different manner it just wouldnt make good turns and my power steering was out. I drove from toronto to detroit on my broken truck to get all the parts cause they are cheaper So you deffinately have a ****** up cv shaft and wheel hub. Thats not a uncommon problem caused my top perch and running your truck hard combined. Also adding about warranty... I got my warranty denied for these parts because Ive broken my steering gear 2 times already, my steering pump 3 times already since march 2012. If your dealer sees this as a "customer abuse" they wont cover it. I domt know about your truck, but my truck deffinately looks abused, i got dings and scratches from trails amd my underbody deffinately looks scraped from rock crawling and what not. I didnt flip out at them for denying me the warranty cause i knew it was my fault. You can try but if they deny you, your on your own bud Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD [/QUOTE]
