The main bolt and the 2 diff bolts from the brace work in conjunction with each in taking stress, not separately from each other. Put another way, the main bolt is no longer taking all the load by itself.

Awesome, thanks.(y) Maybe put out a short vid that has your tech walking through the job. Well, it's two cover bolts, better than nothing. And if no drilling is involved, you could always take it off before heading to the dealer if you have any related problems.

I'm reading that as the "involved components" are what is the problem, and the PCM E-brake flash is the "fix" for retail vehicles.

Correct. I did a quick inventory search on Dodge's website for the Durango SRT 392 and every one was ~$80k on dealer's lots. Maybe a 1/2 sec quicker acceleration time is worth an additional $20k-$30k to some people, but not to me. Everything about the ST is what I was looking for, and my current...

No one here is questioning your sincerity GJ. But the Zone Manager's statement to you openly contradicts FORD's actual stated remedy in the recall.

Yup, it's right there. PCM E-brake software update ...

So you don't believe what every single news outlet is reporting - that the recall for retail vehicles only involves the E-brake?

2021 Durango Hellcat base price (not sold in 2022) = $80,995 2022 Durango SRT 392 base price = $68,195 2022 Explorer ST base price = $48,245 That's a huge difference, to say the least. Sure, Durango 392 requires the least amount of modifications, but it also costs a whopping $20k more. Get a...

Yup, I want to see vids as well.

Ok, that makes more sense.

Unfortunately, that is correct. The same goes for rear diff braces, unless we have the one that doesn't require drilling and remove it. Still, FORD's data reports a 0.1% breakage rate so the odds of not snapping a bolt are incredibly good.

Well done!

FORD's build dates of effected vehicles seems to encompass each full model year since the redesigned Explorer was produced (2020/2021/2022). Still, FORD's official tally of ~250 breaks out of 250,000 remains an incredibly low 0.1%...

Yes, both you and bigcat are correct.

I was not aware that every person's dealer had to contact them personally about the recall.

I'm not responsible for non-votes, just those that actually took the time to participate. Regardless, this poll points to an extremely small number of breaks, paralleling FORD's confirmed statistical data (except our poll reads too high a % of breaks).

That number is 100% arbitrary! You obviously never studied logic. There are concepts of reason that dictate subjective "formulas" can err to no obvious conclusion. Same goes for your use of "estimates." The whole thing, balderdash. Logically speaking ...

WHOOPS!
