Oh, and the auto start/stop is disruptive. Glad I have the PB. Silky smooth.Dropped off truck this morning. They gave me a Jan 21 built F150 King Ranch Ecoboost with 50k miles via the Enterprise location next door to them. Weird driving a short bed with no tow mirrors. First time seeing the full digital dash. Man those power steps are loud when they actuate.
If the axle shaft swap also entails swapping the hub; see if you can sweet talk the dealer into letting you have the old hub assembly.UPDATE: Dealer just texted and said:
"Hello, we ordered rear axle shaft and bolt for you. It was ordered earlier and should be here on Monday."
I bet someone at Ford thought that using a TTY bolt would solve all their weird transient load problems since on paper they’re supposed to help reduce fatigue.possible that it’s meeting with early failure due to plain old metal fatigue
They texted that the repair has been completed and ready for pickup. If I can't get out of work early today, then I'll get it first thing in the morning.UPDATE: Dealer just texted and said:
"Hello, we ordered rear axle shaft and bolt for you. It was ordered earlier and should be here on Monday."
Love your attitude!
I called Ford today and asked the exact question. I got the typical run around and was told to call my local Ford dealer. I'm still waiting to see what happens with the 2023 max tow Powerboost's before I make any decisions on a new truck.Has this problem been rectified for vehicles that have not been built yet? Do we know that a 2023 truck with max towing package will have the same defective bolt installed or will they get ahead of this issue for new builds?
