4wd front end noise

When I"m in 4wd I hear a noise like something vibrating
or humming. Is this a normal noise in 4wd?

How fast are you driving with the front end locked in. If you are going 30 mph or so, I think it's normal.

I would start by checking the condition of the front drive line and it's ujoints. Then I would check the knuckle and ball joints. Remove the diff cover, inspect the gears and the pold gear oil for metal shavings. If all seems normal, check the wheel and needle bearings.

If it's an 80-96 there is no diff cover, you'd have to take the whole TTB out.


Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds .

Thats it for now, saving for a stang. Check out my Gallery for a look-see.
