Pinion Gear Issues

[krazyankee321]

22 KR PB w/ Max Trailer Tow and FX4 here. Ford has had to completely replace the front diff, rebuild rear diff, and now is going to replace entire rear diff due to pinon gear issues. Supposedly the quality of the pinion gear specific to the PB drive train from their supplier has not been great and Ford is aware of the problem. I saw the recall come out on 23 models, has anyone else had this issue or have any insight?

Can't comment on that specifically, but I did take my '21 Lariat PB in for an oil change at around 19,000 miles, and a pinion seal is already leaking. Need to bring it back to have that work done. As far as I know there's no issue with the actual pinion gears, but even the tech said it was a bit early to have a pinion seal be leaking. Just add this to the list of things that will continue to break on this truck. I love the truck, but at this point I'm glad its a lease so I can get out of it before or right as the warranty is expiring.
