Engaging 4x4 at speed causes grinding noise!

Somebody responded to your wheel advert on F150online. Good luck. I listed mine over there too.

Cheers!

Now that they replaced almost everything, they tell me today (again) that it is the wiring. I told them I needed my truck back by April to attend the TRR. The service manager said it would be done in the next day or two. I remained calm and walked away.

My Icon shocks are sitting in my garage just waiting for my truck!!

Not in the Ford Raptor. You can engage the 4x4 High at ANY forward speed.

There are even Ford service reps that don't know the correct answer. It took another service manager to correct the other rep. It's clearly spelled out in the manual and the master techs at Ford know it works at any speed.

4x4 Low is a totally different beast, and does require speed of less than 3 mph and shifting into Neutral.

Dealer has had my truck for 15 days total now. They replaced my IWEs, my transfer case, and then worked on the solenoid wiring. Now they tell me the truck will be ready by next Tuesday. Ford is replacing the transfer case again! They applied 12 volts directly to the transfer case and can't get it to engage. Ford Corp believes it is a defective "replacement" transfer case that was delivered to the dealer.

Dude. Can you imagine if you were paying for that circus yourself?

This has gone on long enough. Do you even trust them anymore?

If so, I say have them do the install, FREE OF CHARGE!
