I put a new one in pre snoball II yep I'll need a new one before winter is done. I have the click and that just means it's on it's way out.

So... I have been having a nightmare with my 2012 Raptor pver the last several months. Living in the UAE, there are lots of great dunes but few equally great workshops. Ford were beyond bad. But an independent shop here called Mebar seems to have worked out how to get me back on the road (it is early days, and i have had some false starts, but the signs are promising...). So thank you to Rashad and the excellent guys there.

But- we replaced the Torsen with an open differential. I have also had to replace another set of axles, and obvioously the IWEs (my wife made me clear out my garage of all the Raptor crap...i threw away 5 failed IWE assemblies...3 axles...thousands of dollars...). But the clunk has gone, at least for now, and I can take my truck offroad again for the first time in 2 months. Meanwhile, i am saving up for RCV axles, upgraded IWEs and a wavetrac differential.

I know that going back to an open diff may not seem like an upgrade...but i think, for the time being, it is the only way forward.

what is the value in a torsen front diff if you are not rock crawling?

Well, Torsen helped me crawl out of 6" to 8" of encrusted snow
when I had to get to the shed in my yard and then,
crawl out, slightly uphill, to get back on the road.

Why haven't you posted more information about this?? I take it you have something for sale?

Need the info! Seems RCV has stalled or lost interest.. Or I just ended up pissing them off..

Is it only top perch that kills it? I probably have more 4wd miles than most on my 13 and have no issue.

Both SnoBalls, 3 days at Little Sahara(200+miles in the dunes), most of last winter and all of this one in MN(actual driving on ****** roads that are unplowed and general hooning), RallyX and every weekend I go to an Ice Racing track to hoon.

Mine has so far not misbehaved once.
