I subbed immediately from another vid. This one is 3 yrs old but I'll keep putting this out there as often as possible on every vid. Thank you!!! Super Cool Cat and channel!!! Bought a used fleet vehicle '15 at auction and I'm doing my homework as a long time DIY/backyard mechanic. Ford has really fucked up a formerly reliable brand. GM got a lot of things right with theirs but they aint perfect and absolute theft magnets now for the older reliable ones. Happened to me. Anyone reading this and not stealing any thunder from this guy at all ever!!! FordTechMakuloco is another good guy and channel! Knockoff "Motorcraft" parts are a real problem now for Fords. And some of their OE parts made in Mexico were a prob with my 2000 F 150 before it rotted out in Canada 7+yrs ago. It's just gotten worse since. Repair manuals? I just got a Haynes for this truck via Amazon. Hate supporting them! But manuals are getting hard to find now. Chiltons were always better and far more detailed. But Haynes bought them out a decade(+) ago and the manuals now are identical. The Chiltons are way more $ for the Haynes manual with a different cover. If I lived anywhere near this guy or Makuloco I'd support them with the stuff I can't do myself and have a couple here I trust and do. A lot of stuff you can do yourself with an investment in tools and scraped knuckles. But do it right! And support the guys who help you to any way you can now. They're all being forced out of biz now by the manufacturers and dealers. The bad ones and scammers that's a good thing. The good ones? It aint. One thing Boss does that Makuloco doesn't as far as I know is oil analysis breakdowns with add packages. Bigger deal now even with the 5.0L in mine but the smaller tubo engines it's a bigger deal. Good guy to support!!! 👍👍

You are the best man. I feel confident in my new f150 3.5

Man, you've taught me so much about my truck. 👍🏻

I'm tapping out. getting rid of my 2017 F150 3.5 owned it for 5 months. 8 times in the shop. a real P.0.5.

Thankyou so much finally the real solution even after installing all components front left,front right actuators,cv axle,rotors,calipers, pads all brand new grinding clucking existed til viewing this video

I have the same truck but I remember my dad when I was a kid saying always put in neutral before shifting to 4x4 his old dodge miss them both but thank you boss man

You are the man! Very good explanation.

I kinda messed up getting jittery explaining things, still sleepy. Just make sure when you make selections you're in neutral and give it time to release or actuate Nd don't just immediately drive off also after engagement sometimes you may have to pull forward and back a hair to get a complete release or apply

Thank you so much I was dumb and tried to see how everything works without researching how it suppose to work first.

Thanks so much Sir

Thanks

Great video, hate to say but I had no idea how to use the 4 wheel drive. Very educational.

My noise was a semi peeled off sticker on the axle hitting the exaust

Good info .. 1 question what do you do on a hill or anyland thats not flat if you dont want to hit the brakes.

This is good info. It tells you how on the screen and people still get it wrong.

What do you do when you driving and you hit snow blizzard and you in 2 wheel drive mode and you wanted to shift in 4 wheel Auto Can you just switch or you have to stop put car in neutral?

Thank you, sir, the dealership wants to charge me $900.00 for it but I followed your suggestion and the grinding noise is gone. thank you thank you!!!!

Great Video!!!! I have a quick question the Fords owners manual says that you can switch from 2H to 4A instantly is that true? Or is better to do the procedure that you have show us in the video? Thank you you videos are amazing

I have a 2021 F150 3.5tt Platinum (if that matters but can’t imagine it does) and this tryck has different drive modes that select four wheel drive based on your mode. The Sport mode puts the truck in 4A but this makes me nervous because it is a 4wd mode. What is 4A and should I manually put it back into 2H to avoid the 4wd on dry pavement issues? So much is new on the 2021, and I just moved from an ‘03 with 279K, and I want to treat it right.

4H can be engaged in the fly. Is this correct? You are demonstrating 4LO only?

I hope this is the reason my driver front is making all that noise. I always have my foot on the break when changing from 4wd to 2wd. The dealership did a bunch of work but still makes noise. Hopefully its my own user error.

The dealership told me I could put my 2.7 19 F150 10 speed in 4x4 while going under 55 mph in drive. Thoughts and recommendations on what I should do before purchasing?

So what are you supposed to do if you are on an incline and need to shift into 4WD? I'm not putting it in neutral and letting my foot off of the brake in that situation.

I have a 2013 Ford F150 eco boost 4x4.. when I’m in 4 high it makes a weird clunking sound randomly from the front. It only makes this sound in 4 high. Any ideas

I used 4wd to get out of wet grass, so I wouldn't tear up my yard. When I got into my driveway, I shifted to 2wd, because I know you're not supposed to use it on dry pavement. My 2019 F150 told me it was in 2wd. I even waited for light to go out before I turned out of my driveway. While I was turning the steering wheel didn't wanna turn. Then all of the sudden, a massive clank and the truck jolted forward. What could've I possibly torn up? And why did my truck say it was in 2wd when it obviously wasn't?

Hey bro. I have a 2016 f150 fx4. When I shift into 4x4 I hear a loud whirring sound kinda sounds like something spinning around metal Mabey? I’m not sure, when I tried to put it back into 2wd it took like a minute for it to go back into 2wd from 4, do you have any idea what that could be?

I have a 2014 Ford 150 Lariat, I never get a message to shift it to neutral, thus I have never done this. Does this apply to my truck?

4 LOW is not used hardly ever by most people. Should you do it like this coming in/out of 4 HIGH as well?? My 2018 F150 does not have 4 AUTO, only 2 HIGH, 4 HIGH and 4 LOW. Thanks!

My 2016 f150 4x4 makes a ratcheting sound when in 4hi on snowy pavement when I turn. I replaced the IWES and the noise continues .I have owned many ford 4x4 vehicles and never noticed this noise before in 4 hi only jerking when hard turning sharp and no ratcheting noises. I dissagree with you on the noise something is slipping on these new systems causing this noise . sounds like the IWEs clicking out of place because the engagement area on the hub is so narrow its slips off in turns.

Put locking hubs on all trucks 👍

Is it the same process for 4Auto?

Manual locking hubs and manual shift on the floor four wheel drive never gave me any problems. All this new electric crap is nothing but problems.

Superior videos. All business no unnecessary talk.
