Default Exploded Rear End.

Was getting on the freeway and my entire rear end let go. Bought my '12 F150 5.0 STX brand new. It has 15k miles.

Man, dog, that's not good! I knew Chevys and Tundras were having differential issues, but Ford? I read where a guy with a Chevy had his to break on an interstate, found out the thing was Made in China! I sure hope our Fords are USA made!

Have you done any suspension mods that might have contributed to this failure?

Leveling kit in the front, nothing in the rear. Ford is sending the dealership a updated version. That's the best picture I have and yes, the whole pumpkin is split open and the ring gear is hanging out. Ford Corp is paying one months truck payment which is nice. I love this truck and never expected this.
