Unless you have the issue I had where I heard a clunk everytime I applied the brakes in reverse. This was caused by a warped/shrunk brake pad not sitting right in the caliper which made this noise everytime I stopped.

A brake pad replacement fixed my issue.

So I've had my fx4 for 1 year. And within 1 year i have had my truck in for 4x4 problems 7 times...AND ITS STILL NOT FIXED!!
first i was a grinding noise in the front hubs that no matter what they replaced it would not go away. They replaced parts like, actuators, solenoids, Check valves in the vacuum line, vacuum lines, wheels bearings, and all kinds of things up front. then my 4x4 simply didnt work at all. and now im getting all kinds of clunking and grinding noises and it only works when it wants too.It has been a non stop issue from day one. The next step is apparently replacing the entire vacuum harness. It better fix it or im going to lose my mind.
On top of that issue, I have a clunk in my drive shaft from stops. They told me it was cause of the 2 piece drive shaft that my truck has and they supposedly fixed it but its still clunking. Now the answer to that is a new revised drive shaft i guess.
And the last thing that bugs me is it shifts hard between 1st and 2nd. More annoying than anything im not sure if its a big deal.
Any of you guys have experience with having any of these problems fixed? what did it take?

Let me look into some options for you; please send me a PM with your VIN, odometer reading, full name, best daytime phone number, and servicing dealer. Also, is your truck currently at the dealer?

Putting bigger tires without recalibrating shift points would put it out of its sweet spot and make it auto lock therefore shifting hard and roasting the torque converter no?

I don't get it. If I were having this many problems with my 2013 FX4 I would hire a lawyer and leverage the Lemon Law. The Lemon Law has teeth UNLESS someone modified the truck. Then you are on your own.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people take a perfectly good new truck and trash it with after market updates and then complain when it breaks. I am speaking from experience (in the days of my youth)! Just drive it and enjoy it for what it is.
And as we all know (or should know), dealers don't care who pays for the work. Warrantee work is covered by the manufacturer, not the dealer. However, it is the responsibility of the dealer to get warrantee work pre approved by the manufacturer before they do any work other than diagnosis. That is standard operating procedure. So the dealer is more than happy to do work covered under warrantee because it generates revenue.
