Front End

I have a 1999 F250 Crew with 175000 miles on her. I am gettin a crazy vibration when i am in four wheel drive... like the front U-joints are about to blow....When i disengage the transfer case but still have the hubs locked i still get a vibration but it is milder than when it is under power... what else could be shot???

Sounds like either the drive shaft u-joints, or the axle u-joints. They would be the easiest to check. Then, if they all seem tight with no extra play, then maybe there is something wrong in the differential.

Joints could be tight and still bad. look for rust arounrd the seals on the u joint caps. The joints could be tightening up causing the vibration.

Also check your CV joint on the drive line, if your truck has one.
