I have a 2004 f150 screw 4wd and its sounds like the 4wd is trying to engage slightly during acceration on the passenger side.

My dealer is quoting me for new
seloniod $76
check valve $209
actuator 19.66
590 in labor 4-5 hrs they say

Any input from you guys??

Thanks in advance

I would say take it to a reliable independent shop. Dealer charges are some of the highest around for repairs. I use mine for warranty work, and oil changes only. Good luck.

Sorry, I thought I read 2014 F150......

$590 sounds about right for 5 hours of labor.

Not everyone has the tools, ability, time, or desire to a job like this themselves.

If you can, then by all means do, and save yourself some money.

If you can't, then by all means find a shop other than a dealer, and save yourself some money.

Unless, of course, money is no object, then go with who you like and trust no matter the cost.

Even if you went out and bought the few tools needed to do the job it would be cheaper.
