So is part #4841 the one to get for a super crew '14 Raptor?

Seems that way, just want some clarity.

Thanks!

Anyone know if dealers are still fixing this issue or if the TSB is still in effect? Any costs associated with it?

Just hit 5K on my 2019 Raptor. Everything is stock. Never been off road. Recently gotten warm in my area so I decided to lower all the windows. Pretty loud clunk heard from the front end when moving forward or reverse from a full stop. It doesn’t happen all the time.

You say the clunk was in the front end? Were you in 4 wheel drive at the time? You could be hearing a CV axle popping under strain of switching from forward to reverse and back, especially if you were in 4Lo. If that is the case, it's actually a bit normal.

I've noticed a clunk randomly even just decelerating around 20mph. This is my 5th F150 and I've never heard anything like it. Figured it was a 'raptor' thing and paid it no mind, I think I'll ask the dealership now that this covid crap seems to be letting up.

Good info, I decided to floor it on valentines of all nights haha, and dropped the driveshaft on the road, broke both ujoints just hitting the gas, no braking or anything. Anyways got a new driveshaft made under my extended warranty, and she's been clunking, I thought maybe the slip yolk needed lube or something, and a quick read of this seems to indicate that

Thank God im so over reading about this issue its obvious enough. If you get under your truck grab the drive shaft and spin it back and fourth it will be more then happy to give up its clunk if thats your problem its been more then frustrating knowing the problem but um able to get a straight answer on a solution or even something to try as a solution God bless Socco and Merry Xmas
