So, got the IWE's replaced, wheel hub assemblies, and transfer case fluid. Shop that did the work showed me the old IWE's and they were indeed broken. The green plastic internal piece on the driver side IWE was broken and they confirmed my findings that both IWE's would not disengage. Stuck my...

Thank you for your insight and response! Right. I never use or engage 4wd at highway speeds. Maybe I should have clarified that I slowed down to about 30mph when the noise started and engaged 4wd for the sole purposed of seeing if that would stop the noise and it did make it stop. Otherwise I...

Lets say it is partially engaged... Would that cause the other CV and transfer case driveshaft to spin as well? If it is engaged when its not supposed to be? Should I be concerned with damage to the transfer case or frony diff? Also I still cannot explain why Neither one if the IWE's will...

Interesting.... You don't happen to have paperwork for that service still, do you? I would be very curious about that. I got around to thinking about whats going on with my truck and if both IWE's just happened to have failed in the same way where vacuum will not disengage them, I am...

Is that not the same thing as an IWE?

Alrighty, so some interesting findings. Decided to go for a drive with a camera mounted to the underside of the truck to see if I could capture what was going on. I was monitoring the live video feed on my hour plus drive and the entire time, both CV shafts were spinning at wheel speed as well...

I got a vacuum test kit and will test tomorrow but again this is such a violent noise and does not match up with my 2 previous IWE issues I have already had. Its like the hulk is underneath the truck punching the floorboard. and very intermittent. Will happen for a few seconds and not show up...

In my experience IWE grinding is annoying and audible but this feels like something is banging on the floorboard. I can feel it under my feet. I cannot emphasize enough that it is EXTREMELY VIOLENT.

I have been trying to diagnose an extremely loud grinding and banging noise for the past few weeks and I am at a loss. I am almost certain this is not an IWE issue as I have had both IWE's go out before and this is a VIOLENT noise and can be felt on my feet through the floorboard. I first...

Sent a PM!

Did you ever figure this issue out?

Just wanted to say I bought full a set of Fox DSC 3.0 shocks from Michael last year. Good, honest seller. GLWS!

I usually do all my own work but I snapped my wrist in half a few months ago and had to have surgery. I havent qutte recovered fully yet and so I did not actually do the swap myself. I brought it to a shop and had them do it. Its definitely louder than OEM. OEM rack felt like it was on its...

Thanks! I have 2 more of the Rigid D series lights in amber that I haven't done anything with yet. Not sure where to mount them. Or maybe just sell em?
