Default loud click when I accelerate and apply the breaks.

So I got my 2013 fx4 back in Feb only had 13 miles on it. All of a sudden its making this loud click noise when I accelerate from a dead stop and then again when I apply the breaks to slow down. Is normal? Like some sort of break in thing? It almost sounds like the rear end is shifting back and forth. Anyone else have this problem or know the cause of it?

And it's not the TractionControl/ABS engaging?

Do you have a SCREW? Probably the slip yoke. Use the search for 100s of threads on it.

Apply a few drops of penetrating and lock lubricant to each of the driveshaft universal joint retaining clips, wipe off the excess and retest.

If it still does it then you may need to have the differential worked on, all covered by warranty. But it's real easy to slide under with a spray can just to see, apparently it fixes some with that issue.
