Rear Differential Unit (RDU) Replacement

[Fernata]

Fingers Crossed. Had the RDU replaced at dealership last week. After contacting Ford Corp., they offered to pay $1000 of the $2500 quote. Had no choice but to accept. Couple days later, same Ford Rep called and said I only had to cover $387 of the repair. IDK why, but I was pretty happy about that. She said after some more research, she concluded that I had first stated the problem while it was still under warranty and they did the Quick fix of changing the fluid. All sounds too good to be true.

I just had mine replaced this week. I took it in on a Saturday to get it diagnosed, even though I already knew the problem. They called same day and said it needed a new RDU and was under warranty (55k miles). Gave me the car back and parts came in, in a week. Took bronco back and they called after couple of hours to tell me the new parts came in broken, problem was my bronco was already disassembled! Had to be without a car for a week. Got parts in and repaired. Got a couple free oil changes out of it too. We'll see how it holds up.
