I have a 2014 raptor stage 2. 1700 miles. I put it in 4 wheel drive last week and it made LOUD banging noises in the front. Took it out of 4 wheel drive no sound. Took it to my dealer. They replaced one IWE on the front wheel. It still does it. Ford said that all supercharged raptors do this because of the power.

I get the bang without even spooling up the supercharger on the boost gauge. Anyone else have this problem???? The dealer said that we hav this documented from Ford so if something does break it was noted from Ford and it will be covered.

THANKS!!!

They are full of it bro! I've got 15K miles on my whippled raptor and 4wd several times on and off and I have never experienced this. I've got a 2013 and had a 2011. Neither of these had the issue you speak of.

Go to a different dealer that's not retarded.

Curious to know if you had done a mid perch on your truck , or is it still at the stock height ?

Hmm....

I have mid perch.

So do I ! The thing that makes me wonder is , I did not have an issue with the IWE Bs before I had the Mid Perch done by Galpin Auto Sports .So when the truck was stock the popping noise was non existent . How about yours ?

I never put it in 4 wheel drive when it was stock. I thought the same thing, but some said it did it even on bottom perch...:shrug:
