I have a 2012 F-350 cc dually and I am on my second rearend in 12000 miles. Anyone else experiencing problems like this?

This is the first time I have heard of someone having issues with the rearend. It's all being covered under warrenty right? What are you towing/ how often?

2nd time in 12,000 miles, I would demand Ford replaces the entire axle, not just throw parts at it, to bandaid whatever the true issue is.

Yes they are replacing everything under warranty. A complete axle is on its way. I tow heavy and all the time. Everything from equipment on a 36' flatbed to livestock on a 32'x102" stock trailer. Never have had issues out of my AAM axles on my dodges. Didn't know if I need to shove an AAM under it or what.

So this is on a dually with 4.10's? Just wondering what heavy is... 20K lbs?

3:73s on the highway a lot. 15,000 is a light load the majority of the time its over that

Maybe look into getting 4.10's? I did find a couple threads on the subject of rear end problems, but probably not much help. here you go.

This ring gear looks defective to me

Clunk/Clank Rear End - Side to Side Movement

Hopefully one of the other guys hops on this thread soon to help you out more.

Thank ya sir, I appreciate your input. The ring gear ripped off the abs sensor on top of the diff and the spider gear was missing some teeth that were laying in the bottom of the diff. I really like the truck but can't have break downs.
