Hi Scotty,
I have 2019 F150 FX4, first truck I owned and first vehicle with 4WD.
today I wanted to try the 4WD and I shifted the truck in the parking lot to 4WD High. I drove it for a mile maybe with speed 10-20 mph. I was hearing a very loud noise grinding specially when I was turning. After that I stopped the truck and turned back to 2WD and the grinding sound gone.
After this accident I read the manual and found that Ford added a note that we can not use 4WH or 4WL on dry paved road otherwise it will damage the components.
my question, what is the chance that I damaged the 4WD components or any drive shaft?
thanks
I doubt it Ford's just do that I'll tell you the truth I've had brand new ones that I rode tested that had 1200 miles on them and they made noises like that air quality in her four-wheel drive isn't what it used to be
