We've all known that top perch on stock suspension puts stress on the CV joints that will ultimately cause failure to those components if you drive in 4x4. Well, now you can add Fox 3.0s and/or 37s to that list as well now.
I recently blew the cv joint, front axle, and the IWE apart pulling out a tree stump in my yard. Yes, this was at 0 miles an hour and 5 feet of driving distance. Aside from that I probably haven't used 4x4 for more than 200 miles and I'm at 37k miles now with my truck. Ford is completely unwilling to do anything as they blame the damage on those modifications.
And to add insult to injury, the repairs have already been done. Had I known that they wouldn't stand behind this, I would've much rather upgraded to RCV axles and their IWE delete kit. Now I get to count the days until these ****** components blow up on me again.
Built Ford Tough!!
I've been more than willing to take responsibility for damages I cause from my mods or from offroading and have spent thousands doing so... but I call complete BS on this one.
