Ok, so every once in a while when im driving, you hear a continuous tick... Its hard to explain, it sounds like a thin piece of metal hitting something... At first, I thought it was the muffler hitting the ground or something but it wasn't.. So Anyways...
I asked the previous owner of the vehicle what it was and he said it was the auto locking hubs and all I had to do was put the truck in reverse and reverse a bit and it would go away... It does not seem to work, or if it is working they hubs are engaging again or something Im not too sure how they work.
I read that the auto hubs have a problem with engaging and disengaging whenever they feel like it. Anyways, my question is this... Is this a sympton or sound that the hub would make? If so, is it possible just to take the from outer hubs off to get rid of the sound (Since I don't do any 4x4'ing). Thanks! The sound is super annoying and worries me too
