4WD would not fully engage and slip with metallic gear engagement noises. Sounded like hub splines were being stripped. After troubleshooting I determined the 4WD vacuum solenoid on fire wall was defective. Replaced solenoid, now 4WD works. |
| 220900 mi US $300 |
Front 4wd noise. Repair shop replaced vacuum solenoid didn't fix and replaced both 4wd hub actuators. Fix worked temporarily but noise came back. Vacuum leak somewhere which I haven't found yet. Probably have to replace actuators again |

Front differential overhaul |
| 119700 mi US $120 |
Upon changing front rotors, a clicking sound persists in front wheels when in 2wd. Somehow half shafts are not fully withdrawn when in 2wd. Switched to AWD and clicking ceases. Front axle shafts are fully engaged now. |

Front drive shaft seal leaking. Replaced seal. Rear differential chattered. Rear gear oil changed. |
| 185000 mi | Have a clunking noise when going up hill &/or when auto shifting into higher gear. I would say this is going into 3rd gear. |

Replaced solenoid for 4x4 engagement in hub. Replaced seals on front drive axel and at drive shaft entry into differential due to small leaks developing. |
