So, if you've seen some of my other videos on my 2017 F150. You'll notice this noise I was mentioning previously. My first visit to Ford (won't mention the dealership), they thought the problem was with the transmission. So they put a brand new one in. Problem was still evident. After some online F150 searching, I've found that people are having issues with their IWE's (integrated wheel ends), specifically in cold temps. So, I brought my truck in and had them inspect the IWEs. They found they were both chewed up, so they replaced them. A week later the noise presented itself again. So, I'm taking it back to have them to replace them again, and hopefully rectify the issue. It seems that there aren't many components involved in the system. (Check valve/solenoid/IWE/Vacuum lines). I've heard the YG360 check valve (a $10 part) has fixed this issue for multiple people. Stay tuned, and thanks for watching. As you can see, it's made evident that the IWE or 4x4 system is in error here. Due to the switching into 4x4 stopping the noise. Truck is a 2017 Ecoboost 3.5L 4x4 Supercrew
