In the last few weeks I have noticed a sloppy feeling coming from either the rear end or drive shaft upon accelerating from a stop. Dealer will be looking at it when it goes in this winter

You wouldn't have worn out those massive bearings - but you could be in need of having the clutch pack rebuilt in it I suppose.

You don't have to abuse the clutches either - doing a lot of turns in a parking lot will wear them out in time.

Other people run their trucks 100,000 + miles and the trac-loc still works -

What are your symptoms?

Are you sure you even have a track-lock (posi)? My FX4 and most EB's I have seen have the e-locker which functions as an open diff except when locked or if the ABS fake LSD is working.

Mine is doing this also. When I crawled under mine and turned the drive shaft, mine seems to have some play in the rear end. I also feel the same sloppy feeling when stopping on mine.

I had my F150 2012 FX4 Eco in the shop three times for a clicking noise in the rearend when shifting from p-r or r-d. The mechanic was told by the engineers at Ford to tighten the pinion nut 1/16 of a turn. Less than 300 miles after getting the truck out of the shop I broke my pinion while going down the highway at 70 mph. Made nice sparks and a cloud of smoke from the back of the truck at 0430 in the a.m.
Long story short the dealer changed the rearend/driveshaft. The truck has 14,000 miles on it and two oild changes later a new rearend.
Oredered a new 2013 FX4 Eco same as the 2012 except the color, have to get Ruby red no more candy red offered for 2013. I feel as Ford broke it they can keep it.

I have a noise in the rear axle. The noise is heard at 60-65 mph. The noise is gear whine or slapping sound when slight accelerating from 60 to 62 mph or when deaccelerating from 62 to 60 mph. I noticed this noise after fixing the exhaust manifold leak. My truck has 45,000 miles on it. I have been pulling a small tractor and a 2000 lb equipment trailer for 300 miles. I have just installed a 5th wheel hitch. I installed the 5th wheel last year (one year ago) I drove 2600 miles pulling a 6000 lb. 5th wheel trailer. The whole trailering experience has been wonderful. It was made for pulling this 2010 FX4 F150 Supercab.
I just left the Ford garage here at Lofinks Motors in Carthage NY. The mechanic is great. He owns a FX4 himself. He ordered a new pinion&ring plus a rear axle rebuild kit? The 5 year warranty on engine and transmission cover all this! I am really pleased.

bought it new 2012 with less then 1000 miles the rear end was replaced.
problem, from forward to reverse , reverse to forward and coming to a full stop to felt like someone bumped in to the rear of the truck.
ford replaced the rear end and the drive shaft. now with 46339 mile its going back in to ford for the same problem.
I will update after its been checked and repaired.
