Great video.. but one thing everyone should know about 2017 and newer models is that the solenoid WILL NOT be activated when the vehicle is first started up. The hubs will stay locked in 4x4 until the initial warm up time is met. Usually 1 mile of driving before the TCCM will activate the solenoid(depending on temps). The solenoid has a constant power feed with ground side activation from TCCM. This can cause misdiagnosis if not understood. Cheers

For those with older trucks like my 11 Expy, um yeah... Those locknuts will not come out like that since the ends of the threads on the tapered joints are rusty. You need to torch those to melt the plastic lock stuff and get new ones at Ford. You'll never get that upper one free nor the stabilizer one. Speaking of, be prepared to replace the stabilizer link since you might as well just cut it off.

WHAT is making that noise exactly. Are the splines/gear teeth stripped? Also, is the IWE splines a softer metal than the splines on the axle and hub.. so the IWE would strip out before the axle and/or hub? Curious, thanks again!

While you are in there you should replace that hot dust intake with the factory cold air intake so that proper air fuel mixture will be achieved and the egine can produce the power it was designed to make. This will also save the turbochargers from dust which easily penetrates those stupid filters . Those are made only for racing or other short term use along with anappropriately tuned engine.

I have got a grinding/humming noise while driving, which goes away when I switch to 4WD. I have done my fair amount of research and I am starting to think that this is the culprit. However, when I took it to the Ford Dealership, the vacuum was holding in all the places from the solenoid to the hub. I left it with them and for some reason they could not get the sounds or vibrations to happen while the technician was driving it. I am thinking about doing this my self and seeing if it will fix my problems. Any thoughts or ideas about where to start with problem solving would be appreciated. Thanks for the video, as it has been SOOOO helpful and confident building for me as I tackle this project.

The dealer might not be running it long enough for the sounds or vibrations to occur, especially if your truck is a 2017 or newer, since the solenoid is not activated until the warm-up interval is completed.

I have that annoying grinding noise in my 2015 Platinum and its really bugging me I'm just worried after looking online that it could be my front differential? I cant tell. I changed the Hub bearing assembly and nothing which leads me to believe it could be the IWE actuator? also when I engage 4x4 it still has the grinding noise, I know some sources say that the noise should go away when you engage 4x4 which raises the question if it is the IWE actuator?. I don't know what to do i bought the truck used and I'm hoping this is not going to turn into a money pit. I forgot to mention i did change the check valve and checked the vacuum lines.

I have to do that a few times before it goes away completely. Then when truck shuts off then back on I have to do the same process over again. Can the iwe get stuck? I’m assuming vacuum is working because sound eventually goes away. Please any suggestions! Thanks and keep up the great videos

My 2017 F150 suddenly began the chattering noise. I drove directly to the dealer and the technician changed the IWE actuator hubs on both sides. However, I still have the chattering, not as persistent at moderate speeds, but also at interstate speeds. I made another appointment at the dealer. So, after more research, I decided to change the check valve, following instructions. On the test drive, the chattering returned at moderate speeds and interstate speeds. After a brief stop back at home, I went in another drive, and didn’t hear the nose. Is it possible the vacuum system needed to reseal itself after I changed the check valve? I’m baffled.
