Check out the pics in my Gallery. My crank case split into two driving down the highway!!! Does anyone know if I can have Ford pay for this???

Crank case? Or do you mean transfer case?

 

Wow, crazy pics! What happened? Hit something? Bottom out? Hope you can get someone to pay for it, I'd look used.

 

Yea, that'd be a transfer case, but it's still split in two!
Any clue how it happened? Were you rolling down the high way with your hubs locked in??
I have weird feeling that they won't pay for it, sounds like people have a hard enough time getting them to cover stuff under warranty, I'm sure they'll find a reason not to cover this.

 

how many miles was on the truck when that happened?

 

I think his gallery said 55,000mi.

 

Dont know. If you had the hubs locked probaly not. If not, might have room to work with them.

 

The 5/100 warranty is on the engine, the rest of the drivetrain expired at 36K. I doubt if Ford will have any interest in helping with anything, especially with a suspension lift and 35's.

The hubs being locked/unlocked is irrelevant, unless 530 decided to see what would happen if he driopped it into 4lo at 80mph. I would guess it was an internal failure of some sort, and the aluminum case split before it had a chance to toss the chain.

 

YEOWCH!!! Musta made a cool noise when it let go! Sorry man, that really stinks. Have you had probs. with the 4wd in the past? I hope you didn't wreck anything else when it broke!!!
