Truck exhibited a constant whining noise and slight vibration from the front end while driving. Also, engagement into 4x4 was rougher then usual and when returning to 2x4 mode, there would be heavy whining and vibration for an extended period of time. Per research on the internet, the vacuum hub actuating system was checked. Determined the actuators themselves on both the left and right side of the vehicle were at fault. Replaced with genuine Ford actuators. |

| 16520 mi | Shifting from 1st to 2nd (and 2nd to 1st)is hard. Was due to lack of grease in the universal joint between the two parts of driving shaft. |
| 79100 mi | cv boot replaced on the front driver side. |
| 79980 mi | A rubbing sound from the passenger side occurred after having a cv boot replaced on the front driver side. The intermittent sound went back to the shop twice. Originally I thought the sound had come from repair on the cv boot but the shop thought otherwise. They change the bearing but the sound returned. The sound appeared to disappear when you engaged the four wheel drive. In the end it was determined that when the shop did the cv boot they inadvertently broke the seal on the four wheel drive system on the passenger side. No cost to me to fix the seal as it was their error. |
