This forum just saved me $$ trans axle boots leaking

[Dataman]

Thanks to someone posting about transmission fluid changes I decided to take my 2024 FWD Ecoboost XL Mav with 54,500 miles on it in for a transmission fluid change. The dealer discovered that both my left and right trans axle boots were leaking and are covered by the 60,000 mile drivetrain warranty. Bit surprised and not having warm fuzzies about this occurring on such a new vehicle and relatively low mileage but glad it was caught. Love this forum, thanks to the OP and all the comments that nudged me to get the fluid changed. I do not go off road just a lot of highway mileage so not sure why this occurred.

You'll likely notice from other posts that's about right for the EB it appears.
The new axles appear to have a new boot design in a subversion upgrade, though main model number is the same.

Too late for pictures of before/after?

Nice. You made it by 5,500 miles.

Not to late for before and afte. Parts take 2-3 days to come in. I will see if I can post some.

Glad you caught that in time...
