    You guys get that thousands of raptors run on 37” tires and ford even sells it as an option right? The travel is unchanged, if anything the axle is higher up in the droop which is where most the travel is. I’d have to get technical and measure but with lifting the truck with the coil springs...

    So they had her awhile. She’s ready to pick up tomorrow. The front diff case had a crack in the bearing race. They replaced the case. Hopefully she’s all better now. We’ll see. Pretty grateful for the extended warranty. I really hope she doesn’t have a puddle of gear oil under her after I park...

    She’s still in the shop. They completely took apart the front diff and inspected all the parts. They found a crack in the diff case but everything else looked good. Hopefully I’ll get her back this week.

    She’s going back in on Monday and I hope to get them to find the problem other than just replacing the bearing. The dealership I’m at with the truck is very solid. I’m hopeful they’ll figure this out.

    Just to be clear I absolutely love this truck. It’s a 17 with 58000 miles and she’s been everywhere from Moab and Ouray to a ton of Baja trips including 1 from the border to Cabo that was 90%ish all dirt. She’s a bad machine just need to keep her lubed up.

    Thanks! That’s what I needed. I just get discouraged. I went and talked to my buddies at the race shop and they told me to ask about the wear items. At least now I feel like I have a possibility of actually getting it fixed. I absolutely love my truck. if the front diff holds like 1.5 quarts...

    I’m rescheduling And hoping to discuss this. Perhaps the case, the axle or maybe the parts that hold the axle centered inside the diff are worn. So far they have just replaced the seal and bearing. That doesn’t seem to help.

    What will you say when someone rolls in here with this problem on the factory 37” package Cause that’s gonna happen.

    Did YOU read the whole thread? Dealer blamed it on residual but it was gear oil NOT motor oil. The puddles of smelly gear oil in my drive way are not straws. What’s even better is the dealer that last took a swing at this issue sold the same exact upper a arms that I have and the shock spacer...

    PS. A 37” KM3 on a 17” rim still fits in the spare tire space without having the increased spare tire area.

    Maybe it’s the after market Fox dsc shocks I put on up front? That could for sure blow seals in a couple hundred miles of driving to the store and the gym. Dang it, I really did it this time!

    I can see where the bigger spare tire area and the 1” shock shaft would make a huge difference with the CV joints, front diff seals and gearing being the same as the 35”. That spare tire space alone must really save those cv joints!

    I know it’s all my fault for putting 37” tires on. Hopefully I get a new raptor with fords 37” package which changes nothing except ride height. I guess ford feels their parts are up to 37” tires but only if Ford does it?

    I guess I should have done a better search before posting but since this isn‘t a thing I didn’t expect to need to. Unfortuantely no one has an after market fix, just keep replacing the seal. My raptor now has 258 miles on it since the a dealer has fixed it for the 4th time and it’s leaking again.

    Good cold air intake?

    I’ve have had both a gen 1 and now a gen 2. This is one thing I never messed with. Fords engineering is spot on with keeping the air clean. I’m like @Old-Raptor-guy and my truck sees a lot of nasty dust in Baja. Sounds like he’s got an answer to get even cleaner air I should check out. I also...

    2020 Raptor New Short Block - Oil in Cylinders

    Turbo vehicles seem to use more oil than most. My subie and turbo 911 both needed to be checked and normally needed a 1/2 quart between services. That said I don’t think that’s what’s going on here in this case at all.

    Because 2 days after it got home from being “fixed” and still bone stock I had new gear oil under my truck That’s how I know. At this point I contacted the Ford rep and talked only with her. You guys playing internet Hero’s when you have 10% of the facts are so helpful. Thanks.
