That was the problem. After replacing axles (cv joints), differental gears, bushings and wheel hub assemblies the viscous clutch was the issue. Thanks for the response. It is amazing how little information is out there about the AWD. Tons of information and help for 4WD but a lot of people...

I know everyone is trying to be helpful, but most of the solutions/suggestion are related to a 4X4 Explorers. The question was specific to an AWD which has no controls inside or outside the vehicle (4 X 4 Explorers have a button or switch that allow you to set automatic or fulltime) I have the...

Additional info - I put the 30K on the explorer tolerating the noise from the front end after I exhausted everything I knew to do to try and diagnose and fix the problem. My back up plan was to keep driving it until the source of the noise finaly had a total failure. I would then know what to...
