Your hubs aren't auto locking? Sounds like its time for some Warn hubs

It has auto locking hubs but I can also lock them manually. I thought that all the new ones have this set up?

Anyways they have never worked since I got it but I didn't care enough to take it in just for that since I could lock em manually.

Got it back. All seems well so far.

I see what you are saying about the Hubs......glad you got it back and everything is working correctly

So the oil is back to leaking from the driver's side of the truck. This time I dont see anything higher than just above the top of the oil pan. There is some oil on the fuel lines right there and then below and onto the bell housing.

Found a tsb last night about the dipstick gasket and my engine serial number does fall into the range for that so its back to the dealer we go. Hopefully this is the last of it.

The third week with my truck in the shop continues. They have finally looked at it now and have no clue.

I am really frustrated now. Kinda feels like I paid all that money to drive this crappy rental Focus. I hope they can figure this out.

what is the tsb number?

I didn't see a tsb number. This is what I found:

Oil leak at rear of engine:
Engines built before serieal number 7008584 at Indianapolis or 0436024 at Huntsville may be missing the oil dipstick tube o-ring. This results in an oil leak that may appear as a rear main seal leak. Clean off residual oil and confirm the origin of the leak before repairing. Broadcast Message 6973.


They don't believe this is the issue but have yet to figure it out.

For anyone following all my fun... It is the dipstick tube, just not the o-ring. Apparently the tube itself has a crack and is leaking.
