My first guess was that your set up has more travel than it is designed to take by partially modding your suspension system. The complete design process was ignored. And yes your brake lines are going to pop and or start to have stress cracks. If you search other Whipped Raptors chat about ways...

On mine there was a blue grease inside, but it was mostly gone on the splines. That’s where you get the “clunk” or bump feel as the slip yoke splines stick to the shaft. Needs to be well lubed. (That’s what she said). Ford went to a Teflon grease as a repair item. I had Mobil red grease on hand...

The correct u joints are Spicer 5-1410X

Another final ending in my series of posts in the post-COVID repair/replacement segments. Everything went smoothly and no runs, no drips and no errors. (Except for a minor hiccup due to the wrong u joints listed incorrectly at the parts stores). Report; while I had no driveline wobble or...

The new U joints and new flange bolts came in late and pouring rain, so tomorrow I can bolt and button up the driveshaft! But I couldn't completely wait, so on my original flange yoke that I clearly cleaned up, painted, lightly smoothed and greased where the cups make contact. I slipped and...

Haha...I cleaned the rear end and axle prior to getting started. But, yes I do clean it up several times a year underneath and touch it up with Rustoleum Satin Black also. And its mostly a Florida truck during the winter (no road salt or snow yet) and spring, summer and fall a Maine truck. So...

Anyway the continuing saga while I wait for the “correct “ u joints. Once I took off the yoke/flange and nut the gear oil was very obvious that the seal was leaking. The bearings and the pinion shaft were tight and I had no prior driveshaft wobble or no loose original u joints. So, my original...

Yes, I marked everything and counted number threads, etc., I’ve done this before, not on the Raptor. My main issue and point was that the replacement parts and I guess others might not necessarily be the correct replacement part for our Beasts, but for regular F150s. I work on all my cars and...

I agree 1000%. Wanted to get through the final repair/replacing everything before I reply, to make sure it’s all good.

Yes...I figured it was, once I got the originals off and measured them, checked and verified the Spicer specs, ordered and delivery on Saturday ...as I mentioned before, all parts stores had it listed for the ones as the regular F150 and I searched the FRF also, only found one post back in 2019...

So I was able to tackle the rear axle pinion seal this afternoon and finish before dinner...NOT. I'm posting this as a help and for someone who hasn't done this on a Raptor. The first hiccup was the PITA the U joint was to get off on the bracket the attaches between the pinion flange and the...

Getting ready for preventative repairs/replacements...Just noticed a slight small oil drip spot under the diff pumpkin? At first I thought the cover or seal around it was leaking. Not...further investigation revealed that I was starting to develop a rear axle pinion seal leak? I checked the...

I'm sure I see something here...

The sound makes me think I go faster than no sound. It also keeps my right foot in check...also, my upgraded muffler was a highway find that someone didn't do a good job installing probably on their driveway. Anyway, it was almost new with only a few scuffs and slight road rash. I went to my...

I think so, anyway. I wanted a Raptor since they came out...but money and finding the right one had me on edge. Then just by chance while in FL I heard of the Ford dealer owner and marketing truck up for sale and I almost bought the big hipped Jenny bitch on the spot as they had just started...
