4x4 Uh Oh.
So I went out shooting and was climbing the softest of sand hills, but had to climb 4 feet, so put my truck in 4 High and started up the hill, then I heard a pop and my 4X4 stopped working all together. I kind of think its somthing in the hub, right after it happend and I got pulled up the hill I unlocked em put it in 2 wheel and went home, but on the way anytime I hit a bump my truck would start to vibrate until I cam to a stop, then I would go and the vibration would be gone until the next bump. What do you guys think?

Sounds like you lost a front hub u-joint. The poping during turning would be an indicator. When 1 goes you loose traction to both front wheels since it is an open diff. Take a look at those and let us know.

I was thinking about replacing the whole hub this weekend, I got off the phone with my PSD mech who is also my best friend and he said the hubs were aweful, hopfully replacing these dudes will work, so far not happy with the warn hubs.
