[QUOTE="deadlysilent, post: 1440852, member: 33289"] Gentlemen, it’s a sad day in the raptor world. First off, I have a Gen1 2010 scab 68k miles. Took the truck up to the snow recently. While sitting in bumper to bumper traffic, there was very little snow on the ground and roads were wet/slushy. I decided to just nudge the throttle a little extra for some shock and aww. The truck did what it was asked and spun the tires for approximately 3 seconds. The rear end fishtailed slightly and I applied the brake to settle her down and proceed into the basically stopped line of vehicles. When I applied the brake, there was a dreadful pop sound (I was in 2wd) that sounded like it came from the drivers side under the vehicle. I slow rolled back into my spot in line and continued to roll at speeds of 1/2 mph. As traffic began to start rolling again, from a dead stop I slowly applied throttle and the rear end began to walk out from under me. The way I described it was as if I was only getting power to the passenger side rear axle shaft. I was unable to get traction and the rear end washed out every time. Due to the traffic slowly moving I placed the vehicle into 4wd high to obtain some front wheel traction I heard a loud pop sound again which made me think transfer case. The truck did not display any warnings and the truck acted normal for a short while. Not wanting to become stranded on the mountain, I retuned back down the hill. The truck drove without issues until I reached civilization, where I removed the truck from 4H to 2wd again. Heard a pop sound again which again sounded like it was the front driver side region. (It Should be noted, the front cv sounded and felt like vibration prior to the shenanigans). During my travels home, the decent control light came on (it disappeared after the truck shut off and turned back on). My thoughts, there wasn’t enough traction in the road to really put excessive strain on the drivetrain to cause breakage. Plus, the pop sound may have been coming from transfer case or IWE. My what would cause the rear end from sliding out and losing traction from a crawl speed? I haven’t diagnosed or tore into the truck yet, but did observe a torn cv bolt on the passenger side front. Possibly busted the posi rear? Thoughts... [/QUOTE]
