Re: 4x4 problems
Speedindevil;
Thanks for the reply. You know, I haven't really done much 4X4 at all, but it's nice when you have it. What you suggest about locking the hubs before leaving home sounds like the best bet. That way I still have the convenience of pushing the button when I need it, and don't have to get out of the truck. I think I can live with that.
I'm taking the truck in tomorrow (1/2) for an inspection of the hubs. There is definitely something not right in there. There shouldn't be any noises from the hubs, especially while they're disengaged. But what it sounds like to me is that the mechanism that controls engaging / disengaging the hubs is shot, allowing the hub or hubs to partially engage. That is self destructive and it's only time until they fail completely.
At this point I do believe I will go with the manual locking hubs. The truck is 9-1/2 years old, but I still plan to keep it a while.
Thanks
frank
