Do we have a poll, list or some other tally of how many CV joints have gone to that great drivetrain in the sky? I need to get on that list. And, maybe that list needs to go to NHSTA.
Mid March, in preparation for the long drive to and from Moab, I had Mossy Houston put my factory springs back on and install the full Rival skid plate package. If there were any signs of CV trouble, they certainly would have seen it and said something.
Last week I crawled under the truck to see where I'd made use of the skid plates. I hit a couple of the control arm covers, rode my driver side rock slider a bit, and slightly dented and scraped my front factory skid plate. Nothing too serious, everything did its job. I do need to rattle can over some of the wounds before they rust.
However, when I reached up and around the skid plate to cop a feel... I was shocked to find the rubber had broken and spewed out its contents. Yes, it was the CV boot, front driveshaft, T-case side.
I texted Trevor at Mossy. He got me in and out mid March in a day, certainly he could fix this ASAP. No reply. After a couple of days, I called Mossy, only to learn Trevor was gone. Greg is now Service Director. The guy I spoke with asked me if my truck was lifted as Ineos was denying those claims, he conferred with a Tech who asked if my CV was making noise (it isn't), and then told me I shouldn't drive it and they can't fit me in for a week or more. I explained this is my daily driver. Greg has emailed me to say they will see what they can do.. and so I wait. I failed to ask if they had driveshafts in stock. They did tell me they couldn't fix my cracked windshield for at least 3 weeks when more are scheduled to arrive.
The backup in service may (I hope) be temporary as Greg just took over and I'm sure their is some disarray in service. Time will tell.
