Just pure stock on mine. All of the bolts were tight. As far as I can tell, I was the first person to touch it since it left the assembly plant.
It did seriously suck to have that ugly sound and no power to the rear wheels after just pulling into the left hand lane and stuffing my foot to the floor. Thought I had blown my motor. Almost caused three wrecks getting back to the right hand shoulder.
I have a feeling mine was cracked for a while. I had a little tiny vibration at certain speeds that I could not find the reason for. No telling what caused the crack. But the center section showed some old breaks and a small (about a 30º section) that looked like a brand new break. I was behind a guy in the next to left lane doing 45mph. Saw a break in the traffic coming, started rolling into it, changed lanes and hammered down at about 55. It broke right after I got in front of him.
I posted about it on here, when I called powerstrokeshop Bob already had it pulled and ready to ship. On replacement, my mysterious vibration was gone.
ive never had flex plate problems, been using the same one from day 1.
