New 2023 Raptor IWE problem

[FordTechOne]

Yes - thank you! I had no other motivation other to share my experience. Dealership fixed it. Regarding comments about 2023 have an electronic - yes that is true BUT it is still vacuum based. "Higher up, the Raptor uses the new, regular F-150’s electrically actuated, vacuum-operated Electric Integrated Wheel End (EIWE) to lock and unlock the front hubs as you switch in and out of four-wheel drive. These differ from the older IWE design, in that the electric actuation happens here at the hub using a control wire (red) that’s just below the vacuum line."

Not sure where you’re getting that info from but it is not correct. 2021+ Raptor uses electronic IWEs, there is no vacuum controlled components. This is what they look like:

Thanks for setting the record straight @FordTechOne.

2023 Raptor definitely has a vacuum IWE. I think maybe the 2022 didn't due to supply chain maybe?

You are WRONG.
Definitely electrical. Either a little motor or a magnet like an A/C clutch.

I haven't had a chance to take one apart, yet

Damn - I stand corrected. Apologies for wasting all you guys' time. Learning as I go. Appreciate you all.

That’s it? What did the dealer do to fix it?

Probably fixed the wire I posted about in post 4.

No - it was the mechanical part (sleeve)
