I was playing in some snow this morning and my 4wd Broke. While its in 4wd it it goes out and comes back to 4wd on its own. When it locks back in it makes a loud grind/clunk noise. I searched and came up with the noise but nothing on the slipping in and out. Also i must say im thankful for my tires or id still be shoveling the EX out. :)

sounds like a hub to me, do you still have the auto hubs on your truck?
 






Yeah I have auto hubs. I was hoping to get by this winter with them, but i guess im gonna have to go to manuals soon. Is it possible that its frozen or something or do you think its just about gone?

Sncwfo! Do the mile markers install the same as the warn? Do they work well? They are lower in price than the Warns so i'm interested for a later install.

Not trying to steal your thread redrig! Just thought I would ask.
 






People here used to really discredit the mile marker hubs. I think mile marker has improved their design since then, but you might check into that...
