Every time it snows and we actually need the 4WD it shuts itself off. This will be the 3rd time in to have it serviced. The first time they didn't see any codes recorded and couldn't get it to shut off (it wasn't snowing).
We had new tires with good snow ratings installed. Next time it snowed, it shut off again. The second time they put it on a lift w/tires just barely off the ground and got it to shut off. They called Ford and they shipped them a new rear differential. Appeared to have fixed it, but hard to tell winter ended. It's winter again, and the problem reappeared with the first snow. We have searched unsuccessfully online to see if anyone has had this issue or has any ideas as to the cause. It's not caused by over heating as my wife is the driver of his vehicle.
