    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    Yes and that is really the crux of the issue with me. They designed the higher HP drivetrain with the two bolt subframe. What was the true reason they switched to one? Did they run out of 2 bolt frames and just say F it put them on so we can keep building? Or did they go through engineering...

    JACK POINTS

    Just ordered a set for my 2 post lift. Got a lot of under car work to do including springs, sway bar, exhaust, downpipes, rear cross member. Thanks for all the info in this thread.

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    Ahhhhh, no :) But I will offer my lift to anybody local that has a need. Maybe we could have a subframe party and get a few done over a weekend :LOL:

    2022 Helm Service Manual Available

    At least that section appears to be the same. I like free and online too but have had a few occasions where it wasn't available when I really needed it. I actually prefer paper but then again I'm rather old school. The online one also appears to cover 2020-22 whereas the Helm is 2022...

    2022 Helm Service Manual Available

    Just received mine today. Comes in a CD. I had to rig up an external cd drive. First bad, the software looks like circa 1995. Second bad, you must have the CD available for the program to run. Working on a method to copy contents to hard drive so it will run without the cd but so far no...

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    Just a note, I just received the Helm service manual. With a lift it doesn't look that hard. Time consuming but not difficult.

    Rear end damage

    Mine seems to have a mind of it's own. Sometimes it automatically engages the brake when I put it in park. Sometimes when I put it into drive it seems to tug at the ebrake before it releases. Sometimes it doesn't put the ebrake on.

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    Until it is out and we see the result, we are all talking out our a$$es as far as I'm concerned, Once some people get the update I'm sure they will run some dragy times to compare. Too many rocket scientists in the tuning world. They will tell us exactly what they are doing if any detuning...

    Focal, Mosconi, Illusion and Helix build

    Very Impressive! I've never really had an ear for music. Don't get me wrong, I can tell something that sounds good and something that sounds bad. But I cannot sing on key to save my life and have abused my ears for many years standing next to concert speakers. That and I just have no musical...

    Focal, Mosconi, Illusion and Helix build

    I don't doubt one bit it will sound amazing! My problem is I don't know if my beat down hearing could ever tell the difference between very good and great. I wis you were closer, I'd love to hear the finished product. Assuming I would say WOW but you never know until you hear it. Maybe I'll...

    Focal, Mosconi, Illusion and Helix build

    Damn nice microphone setup. As usual, I'm feeling a little inadequate with my one microphone and self tuning :LOL: Hoping to find somebody local that can do a final tune after I'm done butchering it.

    Rear end damage

    Man it's almost like nobody is allowed to have their opinions. Nobody knows what is really going on and we all have our opinions on why or what if anything to do about it and I'm totally ok with that! I will do what I feel is in my best interest and others will do what they think is their best...

    Dashcam install (heavy pics)

    Just to throw some more info out there. I am in the process of moving my Blackvue 900S dual dashcam into My explorer. I also have a dual battery backup so the dashcam runs for 40 hours while the car is off without discharging the car battery. I found there is tons of space under the passenger...

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    I agree a lot with what your saying. I am going to be running 500hp and I don't want to take any chances. That's why there is a new cross member that I spend my own $1500 on sitting in my garage waiting for me to have time to install it. If I planned on staying stock I would not have done...

    Here's what the sub looks like with the box. Sorry for the lighting or lack thereof.

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    In my opinion I don't really care if it is only happening to 10 or 12 reportedly. They dropped one of the bolts, there are broken bolts, and I'm simply not willing to take a chance with a tuned power train. They designed it with two bolts for a reason in the first place. I am an engineer and...
