    We have a 2015 Peterbilt Model 567 that just had a differential failure. Anyone else having issues with this? Our driver is very experienced and doesn't mistreat our fleet in any way. Trying to find out if there is a manufacturer problem.

    Is it going cluck cluck cluck cluck back there in the center axle?

    I have to ask. How did it fail? Do you know what the truck was trying to do (Or what the driver's intent was) when it failed?

    They do make many of them. There is bound to be a few that are bad. Like what was stated before more information is needed. It the nature of man made parts they go bad some sooner than others. Now if it's more than often then we have to look at manufacturing defects. I hope you make out wheel with the problem
