Welp, the CV axle is leaking on my brand new 2024

Did the first oil change today at 1000 miles and found grease under the CV joint on the A-arm.  After some investigation found this:

 

 

 

Doesn’t instill confidence.  Never had this problem on my old K2.

 

The whole reason I didn’t use the free oil change was that I didn’t want a tech pawing on the truck.  Awesome.

 

I assume dealer will replace the entire assembly?

They make thousands and thousands or cv axles, yours just so happen to leak. Maybe you didn't have that issue on your K2 truck, but someone else surely did. It happens.

 

Yes, they'd likely replace the whole unit.

That’s a good point, I guess I was venting.  So far I really like the T1 and the way it drives.

 

Thanks

I'd guess complete shaft too.

 

With my '23 the parts guy checked availability of the boot and it showed back ordered - with no 'expected' date.

The complete shaft was in there shop the next morning.

They called, and I was available so brought truck back and got it installed (the day after it was ordered).

This was the first CV problem - and it happened in the first 6 months...
