Same issue happened to my truck this morning. It drives straight but when I go to turn, the truck bogs way down. Same warning lights on dashboard. Waiting for service to open so I can get this $90k POS towed to the dealership. Frustrating.

You lifted your truck and installed 37’s. Why are you jumping to the conclusion that they’re unrelated to the issue and the truck is a “POS”?

They are unrelated to the issue. So my conclusion was correct. Thanks for your comment tho. ✌

Let me buy your $90k POS for $40k and be done with it.

I don’t know the correct name for it, but on the 150 forum they call it the, idiot protect system. It senses the drivers abilities and intensionally slows for cornering. I guess the system was designed to protect you from yourself.

Ya know.... I will be honest an say that all other vehicles I have ever owned have been majorly moddified. Lift kit...(mostly BDS & Fox) ... wheels.... tires.... superchargers.... etc etc. But the raptor is the only rig I have ever owned where I dont feel the need to dump major money into it. Its pretty awesome aside from the crap factory tune on the trans and ***** KO2 tires.

Today the truck ended at the dealership. I have a 2023 35 package which I put 37s on. The truck has 2500 miles on it and has not even seen dirt. Today I loaded the truck and intended on driving to Georgia from Florida for hunting camp. I merged onto the interstate and began to hear a loud noise. Thinking it was the propane tank in the bed, I got out and re-secured it. Entered the truck and was advised by my father the truck popped up a warning "Check 4x4" and "Service vehicle soon". Thinking nothing of it, I restarted the truck and began to drive. The noise I could now hear from the front of the truck and it sounded like my hubs were trying to lock. I could not access any driving mode, 4x4, or adjust anything as far as the suspension, exhaust or steering.

I disconnected the battery and attempted to let it sit for awhile. I checked all the fuses and verified they were all secure. Nothing worked.

I do drive the truck occasionally in 4A when we have heavy rains but other than that, the truck has not seen 4H or 4L and has only been in sport and normal driving modes.

I have read in previous years some of the truck had issues with the hubs, but haven't found anything on the Gen 3's with this issue.

Was wondering if anyone had any insight. It is obviously at the dealership under warranty, but just looking out for possible solutions.

Sounds like your truck wasn't liking the 37s you put on, and at some point you swapping into 4A/4H/4L with the extra rotational mass; combined with the stress of lower offset wheels putting stress on the entire 4wd system messed up the truck. User error.

Ice cold take.
