Question First Complaint with 2004

Hey Everyone,

I have just encountered my first complaint with my 2004 F-150 4X4. Yesterday I was driving down a long wet path and had locked it in 4 wheel drive. During a couple of times while backing up I heard a scrubing in the front end. The sound didn't occur the whole time while backing. Later took it out of 4 wheel drive and went home. Then this morning, I went to back out of my driveway and I heard the scrubbing the whole time I backed up (20 yards or so). It sounds like metal scrapping. Then later this morning no scrubbing.

Have appointment on Monday with dealership.

Should I continue to drive it?

I Know This Sounds Dumb But Have You Looked Under The Truck? Maybe Something Got Hung Up Underneath While Off Road, Could Possible Be Stick Or Something Hiding Inside A Spring Or Caliper Or Anywhere

When you have the truck in 4x4 high are you turning the steering wheel or using the system on dry pavement ?

If so then the system is binding.
