Op, my suggestion is to just keep doing what you are doing. The first part that quits is probably the culprit. Please post back the broken part so we know what to tell the next person who posts the question.

How many motors/parts do you think professional race teams go through in a year??? Being in the shop WILL NOT stop me from running MY truck the way I want to... I'm not affraid to pay to play like some pu$$ies out there. It doesn't matter what you drive, if you push it hard enough it will break.
The OP shouldn't face criticism for driving it however he wants, your unhelpful comments were unnecessary is the point I'm making here. We don't go around making fun of people for holding back 365hp like they're 80yrs old.
BTW the first time it broke, it was 3 weeks old and unmodified... and this was before I drove it like I stole it. Defect in the system according to my dealer.

difference is we aint professional race team driver. thats like me saying the guy who jumped his raptor had all the ppl say he was and idiot in fact isn't a idiot cause he did what he wanted with his truck....guess he wasn't afraid to play and aint no kitty kat. so the 90 feet raptor jump man shouldn't face criticism cause he drove his truck the way he wanted to..makes sense. and i don't drive my truck like a 80 year old man but i also don't drive it like a 17 year old boy taking it to a track when clearly it wasn't designed for that.

Didn't say I was on a professional race team either, just a metaphor... don't quit doing what you do because of a few mishaps. I don't know anything about a Raptor jump, so no comment there, I'm sure guys like you criticized him enough! Very few vehicles are designed for the track, last time I was at the dealer I didn't see a single vehicle with roll bars or plexiglass windows!!! I understand it's not your prerogative to go to the track, no body is criticizing you for that... there are a lot of people who do and they don't need your comments about how you think it's dumb (look at how long the 1/4 mile list are... I think there are separate threads for eco and 5.0)!
Were these trucks designed for off roading/mud riding? I don't think they were, and I don't criticize when something breaks in the process (which happens just as often)! Are these trucks designed to tow over half of that 11,200 lb rating often... ford says they are, but if you push it hard enough for long enough, it will break. These trucks can break doing exactly what they're designed to do just as easily. You don't see me chime in with "you should have bought a super duty dumbass". According to your train of thought, these trucks are street queens and daily commuters and anyone using them otherwise is dumb for using it that way? How about you use yours like you want and leave people who choose a different route to deal with the problems they incur without your criticism.

nope my fx4 states offroad on the sticker so i take it as its ment to go off road, and their just so happens to me mud off road so i guess when i go off road and mudding im using my truck as it was designed.

It was definitely coming from the drivers rear wheel. I ran the truck in 2wd and it was fine, next was in 4wd shifitng out, the 4wd leaving it in full run and it did it both times. I have a video on my phone of it doing it. It was not coming from the front and all i could think about was the locker getting hung up. Im not afraid to break parts. I had a 2013 mustang gt with nitrous etc break a rear end running 10.80's. I just like to have fun
