1998 Ford F150, small triton V8
Over 250,000 kilometers

I had the differential replaced 2 years and 20,000 kilometers ago. Now, the shop that did the work say that the bearings are pitted and basically shot because of a bad ground in the vehicle.

Is this possible?

pitted bearings are a defect or lack of lube depending on the type of pitting , there is no such thing as a bad ground on the vehicle causing this, ask any of the other guys here if you want they will laugh and tell you the same thing , i would check another shop to see what they have to offer but if the bearings are pitted they will have to be replaced
let us know
