| My 2006 ford f150 has the positraction rear end. its went out around 25000 to 30000 miles, while the truck was still under warranty and the dealer fixed it no charge. now the truck has a little over 62000 miles and the rear end has gone out again. almost exactly the same amount of miles on the rear end. warranty was up at 60000 miles so its no longer covered. i think this should be looked into as a recall because this is the second time its happened on the same truck. | |||

| The integrated wheel end solenoid is prone to water from the cowl draining onto it, thus shorting out and allowing the 4x4 vacuum system to lose vacuum. when this happens, the truck's four wheel drive system engages unexpectedly and causes damage to the wheel hubs. once this happens, the dealership costs are very expensive, requiring a new iwe solenoid, vacuum system, and front hubs. *tr | |||
