^^^^^^

Ya what he said, an excellent right up that tells you everything thing you need to know about your 4 wheel drive system.

Test all parts! Mine ended up having more then one issue going on.

Good luck

Victory! I narrowed it down to a bad vacuum line between the two hubs. I was able to lift each wheel and disengage each hub and spin the wheel with out that axle spinning. Once I did that I did a vacuum test of each air line and there is a big leak somewhere between the wheels. Thanks for all the help. I'll grab a new vacuum tube and replace it tomorrow.

You may want to take the bearing out of each side and check out the gears on the bearing and IWE.

Once you get that sound, that means the gears are not completely meshed correctly and are grinding. You may find that you need to replace one or both of them

You earned it! End up not cost me a dime, found where the vacuum line had come apart in front of the motor. Pushed it back together and was good Togo. Thank you for all your help
