Default 2012 f 150 4wd problems

after getting a 3" leveling kit and slightly larger tires installed i have 4 wd issues. when in 4 HI and excelerating in about 4 " of snow it seems the transfer case kicks out and it seems to drop out of 4wd. even on slippery road conditions it happens as well. and the first time it happened on the lake it made a weird grinding noise from the passanger wheel side. any one have these issues or anything like this?

only got the truck 5 months ago and the leveling kit was put on a month ago. 4 wd started acting up on the lake going across through 5-6" of powder snow. only got 22k on the truck and hope it is covered under warranty

Unfortunatly only way it might be covered by warranty is if it was dealer installed! Goodluck with that!

Who installed the leveling kit? Did they take the axles out of the hub while installing? Sounds like you might have a vacuum problem and the hub is disengaging or not fully engaging.

The leveling kit has nothing to do with what you described, unless like stated above...they did not connect or they dis-connected something at the IWE..check your air lines at your hub.
