Hello,
[[Backstory]]
I was using my truck to help empty the hoarding clutter out of my mom's house. I would back my truck up a hill, around the back side in 4WD, then drive on the street for a 30m to the dumpster and unload.
I was usually good about disengaging the 4WD when I got onto the flat part of the yard and street level.
But one time I left 4WD engaged and I was making a hard right hand turn and and I could feel the 4WD biting into the asphalt and I fear I may have damaged something.
[[Symptoms]]
* When driving between 0 and 40MPH, I'll hear this metallic grinding noise coming out of the front right area. If I feather the brake or gas, the noise will go away.
* 4WD engages fine when the noise is not present.
* When the truck is making the grinding noise and I attempt to engage 4WD, it never engages. The 4WD light just blinks indefinitely.
[[Troubleshooting]]
I haven't had time to do much. My first instinct is the jack it up and see if there is any looseness.
This sounds like my issue, but its for an 04 F150, so I don't know.
