I wanted to give an update on what broke and how it got fixed. This isnt a hate on ford video. They followed though and fixed the issue very quickly. I dont discourage anyone from buying a superduty even in light of these problems. Keep in mind this could be isolated to 2023’s not all of the sterling 11.6’s production.

Waiting for my 11.6 rear in my 2024 with 900 miles to be rebuilt now.

@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 15 дней назад

Wow thats early. Total failure or just noises?

@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 15 дней назад

Also thanks for confirming it isnt only 2023 axles with a problem.

@mikehigham9552 15 дней назад

@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 terrible whirling noise like old brakes dragging. My 5th wheel prep system is off too. I can't get my 5th wheel base to set in the pucks. Right rear puck is 1/4 inch low and the spacing is off. Many guys with 3/2024 builds are having this issue

@chimrichalds1422 15 дней назад

Regarding the worse after the rebuild. If they didn't remove the pinion gear, clean and replace those bearings at the same time it was guaranteed to fail. Also some gears are matched sets, you can't replace just the ring gear you have replace pinion as well.

@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 15 дней назад

They did all that. Full rebuild new ring gear pinion and carrier.

@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 15 дней назад

Between you and me i find it very weird it was “worse” after a rebuild. Thats what they told me and thats what the paperwork says

@chimrichalds1422 15 дней назад

@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 yeah that's really strange, sounds like they replaced everything. At least you got it fixed now.

@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 15 дней назад

@@chimrichalds1422 seams to be. Makes me think they didnt set backlash right. But with those fancy adjusters like a 14 bolt how could that be wrong. They said there were alot of chips and the official ford determination was it wasnt cleaned properly when it was put together. But i dont understand why all new parts didn’t fix it

@chimrichalds1422 15 дней назад

@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 do you know if they pulled the bearings in the axle tubes and cleaned them out as well? Contamination gets in there too. Or it could be the tech just didn't know how to setup an axle correctly.

@andyking9673 14 дней назад

aftermarket axle rebuilders are not recommending synthetic oils any longer. GL5 or GL6 mineral oil is preferred

@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 14 дней назад

I dont actually know what the stock oil would have been for ford i will look that up

@ShelbyvsViper 13 дней назад

Not down here in Louisiana where mid-day the humidity levels get 93-96%. Too much moisture in the air for non-synthetic oils they will get milky.

The amount of 10.5 and 11.5 axles fail on chevy and dodge for the last 20 years, we chock it up to crap happens. All of my friends have broken at least one on their truck(s)

@rameylewis7730 15 дней назад

I've heard some squeaking at my rear axle. I figured it was the brakes. How do you know if you have the 11.6 axle? Mytruck is a 23 F350 6.7L . with 7k miles on it.

@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 15 дней назад

You most likely have an 11.6. Go count your axle cover bolts. If its 16 than its an 11.6

@ShelbyvsViper 13 дней назад

Did Ford pony up with a loaner for the 3 weeks they had your truck? That’s a long time for a rear end rebuild or replacement.

@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 12 дней назад

No lol. If i would have bought the truck at the same dealer, yes i would have but i like the service department at this specific dealer and did not buy the truck there

@3jeepsdeep768 11 дней назад

sorry about this. did you notice if the rear axle cover had a re-usable gasket on it from the factory?

@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 11 дней назад

I couldnt do the work though considering how clean the outside is my bet is has a gasket not rtv and usually you can but shouldn’t re use axle cover gaskets. No need to be sorry glad you commented

@cstgx 15 дней назад

Low fluid should have been caught during the dealers PDI

@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 15 дней назад

I can promise it isnt leaking. All i know is i think im going to check and replace fluid on all new vehicle purchases from now on. Does the witness mark of the fluid level look low you to in the picture of the axle cover?

@cstgx 15 дней назад

@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 No, I don't think it was. If it was low, that would ultimately be a dealer failure. They are the last line of defense for that type of thing. They should inspect all fluid levels prior to delivery. I'm with you, though, I like to check everything when I buy a new vehicle. Ultimately, nobody cares about your truck more than you do.

hope rear end was covered by warranty or they ripped you off,,way too much wrong with a 1 year old truck,,who changes the ring and not the pinion? amateur hr

@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 10 дней назад

Fully under warranty. Didnt pay a dime for all repairs. I must have misspoke in there i thought i said ring and pinion and carrier. It was both changed at once and it didnt net any improvement. Which is weird you would think new bearings and parts would fix the issue

@SammyM00782 14 дней назад

Vacuum?? Ha, my 04 Silverado has electronic actuators for the hubs....idk wtf Ford is doing over there.

@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 14 дней назад

They have always been vacuum and yes its a pain in the ass.

@greatlakespowerstrokefx4 14 дней назад

Those those single electronic disconnect on a chevy have given me way more problems than the ford ones have had over the years, but i still resent vacuum

@rich7447 11 дней назад

The first thing that I did with my SD was swap the hubs for Warn manual hubs. They changed sometime in 23/24 to a single side disconnect on all the non-tremors. The other side is locked which means that they are relying on the open diff (not really a disconnect).

@jimmyaber5920 4 дня назад

The GM way is to leave the cv axles connected and to have a disconnect on the (right) long shaft side that lets the ring gear&pinion stop and on only the axle and spider gears in differential turn. RAM had no diconnect for years but about 10 years back they went with the GM style. Ford for 23 1/2 went to one side vacuum hub. I'm only discussing HD pickups.
