[QUOTE="MReid, post: 1794565, member: 33439"] [B]Airborne within 10mins of leaving the dealership.[/B] I have never driven a vehicle harder than this one without any serious issues. 2014 94k miles SCREW. Purchased with 37k miles April 2019, Installed Geiser springs within a month. Added BBK intake and throttle body. Nothing but normal ,spark plugs, breaks, oil changes, maintenance for the next 60k excluding shocks and drivetrain, so I guess not entirely normal. In February this year I Sent it off some rail road tracks at 40mph while my boss was texting in the passenger seat (surprise, his face was priceless), barely touched the bottom otherwise perfect landing. I told him, "Your in a Raptor, stop being such a ..." in April I couldn't resist a solo trip on unmaintained mountain roads which I had set way points for about 2 yrs ago. I almost turned back multiple times as the 3000' decent the to the Columbia River slowly turned into a goat trail. Averaged 6 mph for 2.5hrs. This trip was worth it. My suspension was sufficiently toast and required replacement/upgraded parts. By the end of April I replaced the shocks with rebuilds from TSW, added Camburg upper control arms with uniballs, then installed Icon +3 rear leaf springs. Stage one of my plans were compete. The truck had NEVER handled this well. I had been planning a few other upgrades and maintenance items in preparation for summer trips to discover new wide open lands and remote wilderness. Two weeks ago my 2yr old twins were in the Raptor while I was working on something outside. They pretty much tossed it like a drill sergeant tosses a rack. I cleaned every thing up and didn't think much of it. On my way to work the next day I though the truck was handling funny but couldn't quite tell, it was pretty wet out. I came to a corner and the pavement dried up as I approached the apex. The rear tires were locked the TC was going off as I hit the locker switch. A loud uncoupling noise came from the rear end. Over the last week the rear end has begun to howl. i am dropping it off at the shop tomorrow.[ATTACH type="full"]359958[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
