Stopped in street

My 05 F350 just stopped in the street and wouldnt move any more as if something broke in the driveline. Had it towed to dealer and they said the transmission flexplate broke the center hub out. Has any one else seen this and if so what was the cause. It was stock without any mods.

Yes they are fixing it but offered no explanation. Not a good feeling knowing I travel in desolated areas a lot.

I've seen about a dozen or so broken flexplates. I have no explanation as to why, but I haven't seen a repeat failure.

That's very interesting.......When you say #4 journal do you mean for piston's 7&8 or 3&4?

Ironic...that is exactly how the crank I have posted in the competiton forum broke, and took out the flexplate in the exact same manner.
