    HOLY crappy hubs!

    Not exactly sure why the early failure. Started getting a lot of front end noise and steering wheel vibration when slightly turning to the left. The noise and vibration got much worse over a 1,000 miles or so. The Ford dealership said the left was very bad, but that the right was wearing as...

    4X4 question

    Thanks. I have the V6, so that makes sense. It's always in auto 4X4 unless you select 4X4 High or low. My truck does not have the AWD emblem like I have seen on others, it just has the 4X4 emblem. So I thought this button for 4X4 Auto engaged it? Thanks for the response!
