    98 XLT 5.0 AWD front end noise

    Well found out what the whining noise between 20 & 60 mph (like a super charger whining) is, it's my transmission. Was planning on having it serviced soon but looks like I need to replace it. Has anyone heard of or dealt with a company called Extreme Performance? They have remanufactured (not...

    98 XLT 5.0 AWD front end noise

    How hard is it to replace the bearing in the hub? I have been getting my hubs and parts from 1A Auto, PartsGeek.com and O'Rielly Auto Parts.

    98 XLT 5.0 AWD front end noise

    I am using TRQ hubs and CV Axels. No, I didn't service the brake calipers, their slide pins and pad hardware, yes the backing plates clear from the rotors. The front drive shaft is fine, it has new u-joint and CV joint at TC. What kind of hubs and cv-axel shafts is everyone else using? When I...

    98 XLT 5.0 AWD front end noise

    Has anyone had problems with their front hubs and axels making noises after replacement? I have replaced my front hubs and cv axels twice and still am getting a squealing noise like either metal on metal or rubber on rubber, also been hearing a whining noise between 20 & 60 mph (like a super...

    I still need the question answered, what are the best shocks to run that are reasonably priced and that will help the ride and control of the ex that are good for both on and off-road driving? Bilstein, Rancho, KYB? Thanks ahead of time for the answers.

    That t-case is electric shift and if I would have acted quicker I could of had it for free, but I have a manual shift case I am getting ready to put in. Just got done putting new u-joints in both drive shafts. Yes, I know the shocks won't provide lift, but they will aid in suspension travel.

    I have a question about the bw 4406 manual shift and electronic shift. Besides the obvious is there any differences with the insides and front case? I ask because I might have a chance at getting a elec. shift 4406 for free and if the insides are the same could use as a parts transfer case...

    I am not sure any of them are correct, the ford one doesn't look like it will work, the other two look better, Hey we have to work at these things together to get it right. I am trying to find out what the single wire on the tail shaft near the speed sensor is for, any ideas?

    How to: Convert V8 AWD to BW 4406 Manual Shift- A how to thread

    The switch number is e6tz-7e440-a, the O'Reilly parts guy gave me 2 numbers for the pigtail, WPT 1081 and S1883. The Ford Parts guy gave me another number 14S411, all these are expensive so I ordered a pin kit for $11.00 and will try to make something.

    The standard motor products s743 is not the pigtail for the 2000 f-150 bw 4406 transfer case, it doesn't even fit the plug. the plug needed is more of a D shape than an oval

    Yes, I have seen the write up on this, but can't find the other half of the plug since I don't know the female pin size or the name or where to get it.

    Hey Traveler it actually isn't that hard to rebuild them, I just watched some youtube videos on it and I will end up rebuilding mine down the road, but for now it is just easier to replace 2 u-joints and be ready to install. Have been procrastinating doing the swap for 2 years, but since I have...

    Ok I will check when I put it up on jack stands, thanks for everything. Had to get different rear drive shaft, went to take out the u-joints on the double cardin and didn't realize it had a cv style joint inbetween and now the drive shaft shop wants $300.00 just to look at it.

    Ok, thanks for the info. I will replace the u-joints tomorrow and get ready to start the dismantling process and putting my 4406 in. The next problem I will be working on is figuring out about my speedometer setup on my 98 xlt 5.0 awd since I couldn't find any wiring going to the awd case. Any...

    How to: Convert V8 AWD to BW 4406 Manual Shift- A how to thread

    Yes I was thinking the same thing but what throws me off on it is the double yoke and double u-joint at the transfer case side, have not heard of or seen one like this before during my researching. Even in this video it shows a regular 2 u-joint drive shaft not a 3 u-joint shaft.
