My 2005 Ford F150 4WD has started making a grinding noise when it is in 2WD. The grinding noise goes away when it is switched to 4WD, but comes back when it is switched back. It sounds like it is coming from the left front, but I have not been able to find anything wrong. Any ideas?

1997 ford f150 4x4 with MSOF jumps out of 2wd while driving. 4 wheel works fine.

It sounds like you have different size tires on the front than on the back causing the t-case to bind up. If not, your having an engagement/disengagement issue in the t-case or the shift actuator for the t-case

I have a 2005 ford explorer suv, is making a big noise in the front end. I can not move the car anywhere. It all started when I tried to use the 4 x 4 the other day. I have changed both axles (left and...

sound like the hubs may be bad and not completly disengaging or engaging, this will give you a loud clucking grinding type noise,i would remove the hubs and see if they are working good, or put selector into 2wd and jack the front of the truck off the ground and spin the wheel to see if the axle moves, this is so common, a think this year has the vaccum control hub too, the hubs are common, you will need to make sure the vaccum lines are connected and clear of dirt, this sound you speak of i know it sounds like it grinding metal, theres also a module that goes bad but you will need to start with the hubs.
