[QUOTE="themogul22, post: 1309966, member: 30434"] Sure can.. I would love to know more about the drivetrain in the raptor vs regular f150 and would love to share my experience even though it probably won’t be too helpful.... but anyway here it goes.. Bought the truck with about 120-130k miles on it out of Missippi abt a year ago from a used dealer and everything checked out ok.. one “almost year” later of daily it with work (I am 80% farmer and 20% licensed land Realtor btw) so of course the raptor was a tremendous upgrade from my gaggle of land cruisers that i had been using for my work that’s involves being off the beaten path.. in the summer I of course had to disable traction control and drift around some turnrows at my farm but honestly nothing “crazy”. No jumping, no nasty purposely mud riding or any of that mess. Ever since I’ve owned the truck it’s had that popping noise in 4x4 only while under a slight load and I just diagnosed it as the awesom ford vacuumed hubs not engaged fully and planned to fix it after harvest.. well The evening the rear end deal happened last weekend me, the wife and our 2yr old were going to deer hunt out of the truck and I was having to cross a semi-soft turnrow so I selected 4hi,locked rear diff and DING DING DING displayed “check 4wd system”. So I thought well I’m in the boonies with my family so let me make 100% sure it DID engage but was just letting me know abt the hub situation so I proceeded to do a slow and easy breakstand/burnout to verify if I was in 2wd or it was really in 4hi but was just warning me abt vacume deal... I litterally didn’t even get the powerstall/ brakestand up to 2,000rpm and POW followed by the most hellacious spinning/clicking/popping noise I’ve ever heard..remind you I was on loose packed dirt! Not on asphalt doing a full blown burnout! we said a quick prayer and was able to limp it home is 2wd but the left rear wheel would bind and pop every rotation.. drove 20miles home, loaded up on my car hauler and since I first made my post trying to locate a complete housing and everything the dealership has one being 2day shipped from a wrecked raptor with 26kmiles on it.
