Thx, I find I get along better with people older than me than people from my generation. Kids my age tend to not know much about anything except video games and beer pong (don't get me wrong though, beer is a great thing )

I agree with you there lol. Our generation is full of ****heads and dumb***es.

Sounds like your hubs

115$ from ford. It took me about 30 mins to do each side. I had it on a lift. If your on the ground with a jack. It really shouldn't take much longer. Bolt may b stubborn. I used a little pb blaster and I didn't have a prob. But yes. Sounds like your hubs

Check to see if you're getting vacuum at the hubs first. Just pull off one of the lines from the back of the hub while the engine is running, and check for vacuum with your finger or by listening. The vacuum solenoid likes to go bad, which would lock the hubs in 4wd.

Could b that too. Top left under ur hood if I'm not mistakin. But if it's grinding like that? The hub is probably to far gone now to save it

I'd check the solenoid before buying new hubs. It's free to check. My hubs made that noise when I had the bad vac lines but after I fixed them the hubs work fine, so they might not be bad....hopefully.
