I looked at my repair bill back in May and think was around $700 for both axle replacements, but don't quote me on this (quick scan). This will definately add up for Ford.
There is a thread on skid plates and someone may be able to post link. I did this mod and no ill effects. You may want to remove before tranny service. I have trust issues with dealerships.
I like the new update except for the "Slide to Start". On my phone, it is right in the middle of phone and a few times I started the truck by mistake. My thumb automatically goes to that spot and slides the bar. Maybe if I wasn't left handed I wouldn't have that issue. :unsure:
