I just replaced the front driveshaft on my wife's BMW X5. BMW X5 and X6 Forum (F15/F16) - View Single Post - Front driveshaft? (bimmerpost.com) Be sure to use a good molybdenum spline lube/grease when you re-install the driveshafts.

A quick lube place? - wouldn't trust them.

What's your oil change interval? What oil and oil filter have you been using?

A good starting point in the diagnostics is knowing the stored fault codes - the misfiring/staggering potential causes go beyond bad spark plugs.

I recommend that you use Forscan - yes, I've had other reputable scanners show no codes only to find that there was stored codes using Forscan. The symptoms you describe there's bound to be codes stored.

What are you using to scan for codes?

The appearance is really good, and the interior looks un-used. You sure scored a bargain of a lifetime.

The problem is this forum's search feature is useless and no hope of the owners improving it. I use the forum URL with key words in Google. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=+Carrier+Bearing+Replacement+www.fordedgeforum.com

Agreed, legal battles aren't welcome regardless how strong your case may be, so if there's any uncertainty you could use the type of catch-can that I have which takes a couple of minutes to remove/install as and when needed. Definitely wouldn't run my 2.7L V6 without it.

Have you cycled the ABS system during the bleed process?

It's not my observation that "many" have said the catch can will void warranty - the law is not on their side when it comes to proving the catch can caused whatever engine failure.

Welcome. Could you post a photo of the connector/plug?

The reason why you don't find that is because most don't bother replacing them because the complete half-shaft needs to be removed and disassembled to install the new bellows seal - typically by the time these seals need replacement its time for new half-shafts. Post the part number of photo of the seal so that we can be sure what you're referring to.

Did you replace the fan or the Ford Dealership?

Sorry to hear that you have a large repair bill. My thoughts are that the RDU shouldn't suffer without maintenance at 170K miles.

I've contemplated using this but have just erred on the side of caution and went with Motorcraft, but if I see enough good reports of owners here using it, I might go with it for the next trans fluid drain and fill which will be in a couple of years from now. That special has passed, but I've seen it reappear a few times recently. Valvoline Multi-Vehicle (ATF) Full Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid 1 GA, Case of 3 $51.00

Good to hear that you've solved the problem. If the chain was that badly worn at 180K miles it suggests a history or poor maintenance.

See if the symptoms are similar to this thread:

It's the constant velocity joints in the drive shafts - there's kits available to replace the rubber boots and refill with special Moly grease but they're not reliable and a waste of time and money. If high mileage its best to replace the complete drive shaft / half shaft.

I would run some injector cleaner and if there's no improvement do a compression test.
