Not familiar with the construction of the torsion-style diff myself, but that's probably where the issue lies (I've only run full spools, Detroit lockers and Power-loks posi's prior to owing the GEN2 Raptor). Also not terribly familiar with the front diff housing on our Raptors, but on my Old '05 Chevy Silverado there was a fist-sized plastic check-valve for the vent tube... I was able to thread this out to inspect the gear pattern which changing the gears. There has to be some way to inspect gear run-out pattern on these, so I'd try tracing the vent tube back to diff housing and see if you have a similar setup--its probably the same or similar Borg-Warner units used by nearly everyone else. Anyway, you should be to remove this or find some other inspection cover to remove to inspect the ring gear teeth for chipping (tell-tale signs of a damaged differential assembly). If you are lucky, you might be able to see the differential itself.
