ANYONE having a noise in 4x4 ONLY, & when you start spinning, needs to check this and see if it applies. We have had several people reach out and say that their dealer told them "It is normal and will go away as "it" breaks in." Are you kidding me.....SMFH. Please please if you are NOT getting the service you deserve, I would highly advise YOU to make the trek to come and see us to get this handled. Enough is enough, our TRUCK MAKES NO NOISE, it's NOT normal. Stop telling people this and just fix their trucks. THANKS so much for watching each weeks episode, means a lot.

@@rockie307yeah i’m not surprised by that one bit. I’m pretty sure everyone buying these trucks know that putzing around and idling is for gassers. If you run a diesel like that, the number one issue is the CCV box. Almost no one knows about it, and if they do they still don’t service it. So as a general statement I don’t agree. Like you said they’re being worked a specific way…

My 2022 350 started doing this today and i stopped at the dealership where i bought it. The Service writer came out and listened to it. went back in and talked to a tech that told him it was normal, just a rubber seal rubbing on metal. It sounds EXACTLY like this truck, if not louder. They told me to just keep running it, everything is good.

Plow enough snow with these trucks and you can identify exactly what this is within about ten seconds. I sometimes get seals from national that dont have silicone grease in the wiper portion of the seal, if we put them in without checking that they make this noise within one or two plowing sessions. Number two is getting new unit bearings with an ungreased shaft support bearing, that has been happening the last few years so we get stuck doing surgery so we can put a grease needle in that bearing and fill it. I hired a new tech to manage our trucks and machines, these kinds of parts quality issues are so prevalent now its alarming. You will need to be vigilant, that is all it is.

I took my 2022 F250 in 4 months ago because of this funny metallic noise also coming from the drivers side axle. I told the dealer I thought something was wrong with the hub. The dealer said their "master tech" said the noises were normal and refused to resolve the issue. I told them there was nothing normal about this noise. Thanks for the video. I'm taking this back to the dealer with a video of my truck making the noise and I'm bringing Ford in on this to make sure whatever is wrong gets fixed.

Driver side. 21 f350 6.7 had this same issue. Watched over dozens of KZfaq videos to see a possible repair for this model year but this is the first video so far for my model year. Was going to tackle myself but dealership got it fixed under warranty. Paid out of pocket to have them replaced the passenger side while they were at it just in case. Also had them install the front axle knuckles seal shield. Hopefully it’ll help keep crap out of the seals. I’ll have to see. A month after the repair now my 4x4 doesn’t engage unless I lock the hub manually. Go figure.😢 But Arod by far is the most knowledgeable person on these super duties. And I really learn and appreciate all your content. Excellent as always

@McCallieOrchestra Жыл бұрын

Great video! I have a 2002 Excursion with 2006 axles and the driver's side makes a similar, loud squeal once every turn but only at slow speeds. Started after a shop installed a new lockout hub. I'm hoping it is just a bent dust shield and have not dealt with it in almost a year and a half. The front axle also makes a loud clunking noise and has movement where the driveshaft goes into the pumpkin so that is a higher priority to fix. If the squeal isn't external, now I know what to suspect. Also, I am jealous, I don't think I ever worked on a vehicle this new or clean.

I have a beautiful 2017 F350 with 76k on it. The day of purchase I traded one of the most powerful trucks I’ve owned which was a 20-F250. I noticed before I left the lot the 350 has a ticking noise in the hub, we searched for what sounded like a lug nut rattling in the cover and have yet to find the cause. This video makes me question my service shop… I never get proper answers or concerns. For instance, I dropped the 350 off asking them to service and find any issues. It came back with the same issues that I found myself like a hole drilled in the top of the primary coolant tank and the tank empty the infamous hose clamps loose and leaking across the top of the engine… I’m willing to pay the bill I just would like my truck fixed as it should. Thank you for the excellent videos, info, and work sir! Tell me how to book an appointment for a full service 👏🏻

Ford has used those "rotating seal inside a seal" for a long time. I've never heard the squeal, but they seem to leak a lot more often than just a plain wheel seal. I would think a piece of stamped sheet metal would not make a good sealing surface but admittedly I haven disassembled one to see what the inside is like. There is also a limited lubricant available for the seal which I think contributes to their self destruction.

I have another suggestion for people who use this trucks for snow and ice service. SILICONE SPRAY the area around that seal after brake clean and wipe as often as you care to do it. That will help prevent brine and snow from getting into that area, sticking to things and melting into that seal. Doubles the life for our stuff, otherwise we used to do u joints, seals and hub lockouts every two years.

@15Jeep Жыл бұрын

Excellent Video! Two QUESTIONS at the end of post. The Dana 60 axle assembly is very different compared to 25 years ago. The new units with axle seals and unit bearings considerably different than the old spindles with inner and outer 'serviceable' Timken bearings held on with spindle nuts and C clips. I would prefer the OLD, yet more reliable, durable, low maintenance cost, heavy duty set up with spindles and serviceable Timken bearings with the inconvenient "Free and Lock" manual hub settings verses the NEW unpredictable service life of axle seals and unit bearings with the convenient "Auto and Lock" automatic hub settings that also have additional parts...solenoid and vacuum lines to maintain. I would have no problem with manually locking in the hubs before going off-road in mud, snow or sand. More often than not, any mechanical system designed and engineered with a "convenience priority" does not equate to reliability and durability. In other words, driving through mud rutted roads or deep snow.....and the "unit bearing" ceases...resulting in loss of drive in the front axle...the so called "convenient system" which has unknown years / miles reliability would now become a very "inconvenient system". UNFORTUNATELY, the DynaLoc (from DynaTrac) heavy duty free spin hubs are not available for 2015+ Super Dutys. Dynatrac discontinued the DynaLoc heavy duty free spin hubs for 2015+ Super Duty trucks.....not sure why, but heard it might have been associated with compatibility or function of the anti-lock brakes. Do you know the expected "service life" of the axle seals and unit bearings? Does Ford have any service replacement guidelines in years or miles on the Super Duty?

@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod Жыл бұрын

Nope they sure dont

@legohead6 Жыл бұрын

Cars have been using sealed bearings and hubs for 40+ years. They are as maintenance free as it gets and overall failure rate is pretty low. Ive never seen them on any form of maintenance schedule from any manufacturer. Simply a "replace when failed" part. I've also never seen a wheel bearing assembly seize, they simply wear and get sloppy and noisy. More likely to fully separate then seize, but if it gets to that point you would have had to be ignoring the issue for a LONG time. The auto position on the hubs is default off. It takes vacuum pressure to engage the hub while in the Auto position. If the vacuum system has failed you can still manually engage and disengage them.
