I posted awhile back about how glad I was to have the MaxCare Lifetime Unlimited Warranty . Back then it was about the transmission. I want to list what has gone on with my truck and see if anyone sees any correlation to the issues I have had and how I drive and use my PW.
1. Around 75,000 miles had dealer service Transmission, front and rear diffs and transfer case. The next week I drove 2400 miles round trip From Texas to Florida. Luckily the transmission waited to get stuck in 4 gear until I was about 100 miles from home. Transmission and Trans cooler replaced under MaxCare.
2. About 78,000 miles another round trip to Florida. My last gas stop coming back I noticed the engine was clattering. Dealer thought lifter but it turned out to be a disintegrated crank bearing. Engine replaced under MAXCare.
3. 84,000 , Another trip to Florida and back 2500 miles. The morning after I got home I started the truck and tried to back up and the transmission completely locked up. Transmission and trans cooler replaced again by MaxCare.
I tow a bass boat trailer combined weight less that 4000 pounds. Every time I tow I use TOW MODE.
Oil changes at dealer about every 4000 miles.
Daily driving mix of highway and some around town. 4 wheel drive about 2 - 3 times a month out on the ranch if its muddy.
Does anyone think these 18 hour non stop runs have anything to do with these issues or is it incredible coincidence?
