[QUOTE="Yukon Joe, post: 875635, member: 2921"] I would think that if you added IWE deletes that anything in the front drive system would be void if you wanted too make a warranty claim. The IWE is sensitive and I typically blow one or two a year. But, yrs you are correct, once you put them under load, they crack. It's only plastic taking all that torque. There is done things you can do to try and increase the longevity of them. 1) always let the truck run for 30 seconds or more when you start the truck. This ensures the vacuum system has disengaged the IWE. 2) never shift on the fly. Always slow to a crawl when engaging and disengaging. And keep the wheel straight. 3) never full lock the steering and power the truck while in for wheel drive. 4) ask your dealer to check your vacuum system. Sometimes the valve will go bad and you are driving around town with the IWE engaged. Lastly [MENTION=2684]HAYNES OFFROAD[/MENTION] is working on a stronger IWE that might work well for you. Again, I think it may void warranty on other components, but not sure since it will engage and disengage like the stock IWE. I'll see if I can find the thread.
