may have reflashed the computer, Ford sends out updates all the time. I have a SCT on my Mustang GT and was told to reflash back to stock before taking back to dealer. luckily have never had a problem in the 8 years I have owned it. Had 1 recall but never took it back for that, they finally got tired of sending me a letter.

yeah you can chaulk the rear tires, lift up the front while in neutral with the truck running and spin the front wheels. If the CV spins with them, then the IWE is engaged, if not then its not.
It'll catch a little drag and spin a little bit with the wheel after a while, but should spin directly with the wheel if you get what i mean

I think after 4 or 5 years is when the gears start to wear out too much that's it won't synch up and that's why it makes the grinding noise. I'm gonna take a guess that ours are too new and mesh right up, if it loses it's air.
On a side note, you reminded me I needed my oil changed, and they found both rear shocks leaking.
So at 26,000 miles it's pretty good timing for, a couple new free shocks.
