Default Failures on drive shaft and total front diff

Has anyone had failures on the drive shaft yoke on a newer F150? OR the front diff on a 4x4? I had total failures on the yoke and the front diff blew, cracked the housing and walked the gear & pinion set. 2023 2500 miles looking for anyone with similar failures

Curious what you were doing at the time. Probably not getting a starbucks latte.

Do you have a lift kit? I have seen a few threads with cracked front housing that the trucks have lift kits.

Were you on a 4 wheel dyno or a 2 wheel dyno when the front diff failed?

That was my thought before I ask this question.

Stranger things do happen but Is there a way that they hit four-wheel drive or sport mode... and the front diff/hubs locked while The front was stationary and the rear was in motion?

I've broke my fair share of parts while racing or offroading but have changed some parts that have questionable failures and stories from customers.

Whoa, That's a lot of carnage. I didn't realize it broke the rear drive shaft then destroyed the front.
