iwe problem repeatedly

I replaced the solenoid right after I got the truck...so for me it's either the check valves or I have a leak somewhere. It's not a big leak - I just have the slightest grind when I am turning right. Hell it might not even be the IWE but it's coming from the front somewhere.

jack it up and play with the wheel...very well could be a brake issue or wheel bearing

Trouble shoot the [vacuum] system before throwing a bunch of parts at it. It's not that complicated.

Odds are that one or both of your IWEs are leaking. You need to get a vacuum pump and gauge, get under the truck, pull off the vacuum lines from each hub and test them to see if they will hold a vacuum. The iwes are basically a diaphragm and the rubber dries out and cracks resulting in a leak that causes you problems.
