I’ve had my 802A in AWD for the last couple weeks.
Snow and icy roads. I have not noticed any pull right or left. Definitely feel the wheel wanting to center itself more on turns, as to be expected, but tracks true on straight and level roads.

Edit....
I did a bit more fooling around to check the tracking..... I don’t even need to hold the wheel, it pulls straight !!! Don’t believe the mechanics that tell you pulling to the side is normal.

started as right pull but now is left pull

I had the same issue with my truck but it was pulling right. I found the upper control arm bushings had failed on the pass side. I replaced both upper arms and then it pulled left found the lower bushinging had also failed. (the sleeve inside the rubber was ripped out) the this was allowing the knuckle to shift on accel in 4WD changing the caster causing the vehicle to pull.

Same issue. Mine pulls right. 25k on the ODO, I’m the second owner. Initially I was thinking it was rode hard and put away wet by the first owner, but I guess this is an on going issue. I’d love to take it to a dealership but waiting days on end for them to tell me nothing is wrong is unacceptable. Let us know what Ford said...

Mine actually does this bad, I thought it was normal from the torsen, as I have the optional front torsen.

Shit, maybe mines the one that's broke. I only noticed normal 4 wheel drive pull when turning

We had our first bad weather day of the season in El Paso today and I used the weather mode on the way home from the airport today. I found myself constantly fighting the steering wheel everytime I accelerated. I don't know that I ever noticed it before my 37s, so I was thinking the wider 13.50 tire might've been the issue. Sounds like there's something larger going on here.
