Beerings were shot, truck was not used off road at all, feel that it is a manufacturers defect. The part alone was $ $285. I am aware that I am reporting thisvery late, but the real reason is that I am upset that the gear shift indicator is not working I.e. the little arrow in the dashboard that tells you what gear you are in. They want $ $150 to replace that piece. I feel that the indicator should last the life of the vehicle. I plan on writing Ford about both of these problems and hope to have them pay for the gear shift indicator repair. Thank you.
