Driveshaft Issue (with photo) -- HELP

[Gros Ventre]

Yes - 4WD.

OK, with 4WD, if worst comes to worst... you can take out the drive shaft, make sure there is a seal of some kind on the aft transfer case so it doesn't lose oil from the absence of its rear face output shaft, and drive the truck as if in 4 WD. I did that in an old Suburban when a shop did some poor work for me. Didn't go a ton of miles that way... but it'll keep you from being stranded. And keep an eye on transfer case oil level by checking it every so often.

Blue screens or hard resets? Do you wake your truck up a lot? (aka, walk within ~5 meters of it when parked w/ keys in pocket). Consider upping your SOC for your battery via forscan.

Literally a blue screen. I have a Forscan device - can you elaborate what 'upping the SOC' is?

Much appreciated -

I'm wondering if this might also fix my 'auto stop' failures (where the truck turns 'off' while at a traffic light)? It hasn't worked in about 6mo (always says 'vehicle is on due to vehicle charging'), so my MPG is horrible.

We have driven the truck for hundreds of miles at a time, and it still shows this error when the auto-stop should be engaging... The mechanic tested the charging system, and said it was working.

Sadly, Ford won't replace the battery until it's declared defective (which the mechanic said would take another day in the shop)...

Change the charge point and go on a ~20m drive, not to be confused for sitting in traffic for 20 minutes. I set mine to 94%
