Hybrid/std cv has 3 way dogbone slider with 3 needle bearing filled sliders for the axle plunge side of the axle (inboard).
The tremor has a 10 ball caged slider for the plunge side , no needle bearings to fail under torsional loads .
This also provides a lot more constant contact area on the...
Been trying for 2 different dynos , 2 different shops ,2 different days to get a clean pull .
So far truck with traction control off or on will pull power when loaded , tried sand and mud modes too , no luck .
Locked or linked dyno mode .
Was going to pull abs fuse but truck still pulls power...
Got a chance a while back to join east county off roaders on Facebook to do a very mild run and do some flexing and rub checks while giving for a good cause.Here is a few pics , mostly fire roads through south laguna area to boulevard area then finished in lark canyon , part of McCain valley .
I...
Thought I would try to settle this topic to realistic percentages of actual failure .
Please take the poll , problems or not !
And then post what type of vehicle ,mileage, mods if any, hybrid , ecoboost, tremor to discern our percentage of failure rates between all 3 axle types!
If only a boot...

I had read this article and found it interesting.
Anybody disconnect the WiFi or antenna off the module that can upload or download off of the mavericks yet?
figured some of the savy ones had already eliminated all the out possibilities...
I figured I’d post some pics of my off-road exhaust for the prerunner build .
I got the Fast Mavericks downpipe and extension pipe along with antifouler.I had purchased an AFE side exit cat back kit about 6 months ago and waited for their run of kits to come in .
And finally got around to...
Went out to the desert to help at an off road race , did a little exploring after by myself .
It Dunes nice without airing down at all , flexing good and rear clearance is way better with the flip up license plate and cut bumper.
A few pics
And a video

Thought I’d raise some eyebrows .

I did a thing!
At full droop , haven’t even put my arms on yet.almost full 5” down travel .
Ties just barely touching ground.
Will post more inbetween rain storms here , calling for 1/4-1/2” in the next day or so!
Time to go experiment...
Just thought I’d show pics of a stock hybrid strut and a tremor .
all appears to be spring thickness ( pre-tension ) for the ride height , overall rate , and obviously different valving to control that rate .
Thought I’d throw it out there for anyone wanting to know.
bolt right in .
In southern cal we don’t get much rain , but what little we did seems to puddle inside rear doors , unless you open them to allow the drains to not seal against the weatherstripping . Not a huge problem here ,but the rust belt people will need to regularly rinse and open rear doors for a little...
Sneak peak , all chromoly.
Get to see what kind of travel can get out of stock pivots without the factory bushings adding to spring rates at top and bottom of travel . In other words just coil over spring and adj dampener.
Plus 3” spacer kit going in this week
Looking for one lariat 18” wheel

Then I mounted up some 255/75/17 BFGoodrich mud terrains ( 32x10”)
Now the whole unit sits about 2 1/4 “taller at the wheel arch. Only 1 1/2”...
Does anyone know if the pcm for any of the Mac’s have to be coded to specific vehicle or vin?
Bought a wrecked hybrid with driver fender peeled back , done the sheet metal repair , but the IDEAL location ford chose for the pcm ( lower front wheel well ) gave it some prime impact area prone...
