@DK in NC , do what @blue2010xlt said. Likely it's the checkvalve, just buy a new one, cheap and easy fix. If that doesn't do it, get back on here and let us know.
Since you've got a Lariat, with 4A, just drive it in 4A until you try the valve. Won't hurt a thing, grinding should stop, and you won't do anymore damage to the IWEs.

when my 2004 first had IWE failure I was on the freeway and I coulda sworn i had picked up a section of chainlink fence and was dragging it down the road.

No, you don't have IWEs or any other 4X4 related parts.
If you start a thread, mentioning RWD in the title and mention the noise, you'd likely get guys that could help you more. Just off the top of my head, I'd have the brakes checked, look for a stone between backing plate and rotor, loose heat shield.
Chances are the noise won't return.

Yesterday on the way home, my 2018 made a noise a couple of times that sounded somewhat like something was caught under the vehicle and being dragged, but only lasted about 2 seconds each time. Did it again this morning but sounded more like it was coming from the front driver's side wheel, but I can't say that for sure. Each time was at speed on the interstate. It also did it just briefly as I made a turn this morning. The noise does not sound or feel like grinding and it's not during braking. Truck is in 2WD and I've used my 4A only about 4-5 times in the year I've had it and had no issues. My first guess is something to do with the IWE, but I'm not familiar with what that sound usually is. I know it's difficult to give a guess without hearing it, but wondering if anyone else had a similar impression of this type of sound from their truck. Any suggestions?

As a follow up to this, my dealer fixed it under warranty today. I was scheduled to take it in for regular service and told them I wanted this issue looked at. Showed them the video above and the part number referenced to fix it. I was prepared for the runaround from them but I'm happy to say there was no problem getting it fixed.
