So I got the blue 4 door raptor from the 2011 auto show. But I had the driveshaft clunk at first. And then replaced the driveshaft 2 times. And then it went away. But about 4 months ago. This new sound started up.
It's when coming to a stop its this almost...I don't wants say grinding sound. Cause it's not grinding. But it sounds like heavy "grinding". Nothing when taking off.
Dealer says there is a new driveshaft recall. That directly affects this sound. It's as if the driveshaft has no grease in it. And when it opens and closes its makes the grinding sound.

Any one else have this sound or hear of the recall. And just to clarify this isn't the clunk sound, it's grinding. And yes, I'm sure it's the driveshaft.

I also habe a 2011 (scab) never had any problems with the driveshaft. I got mine in April right after the clunk issue was fixed. I will listen tomorrow for any grinding noise.

I got my 2011 Screw in August of 2011 and I haven't had any issues with the trans/DS "clunk". That's very interesting... Did your dealer tell you what was causing this?

He basically agreed with everything that I was telling him. So I could have called him a moron and he would've agreed.
