    Loud Clunking noise when awd or 4 wheel High

    No noise on mine from 2wd to AWD, sometimes a clunk from AWD to 4H, but not normally, and a clunk when going from 4H to 4L - just did the transfer case fluid so hopefully a bit of the clunk goes away - I too typically only go into 4H at a stop, or going very slow. It's funny I typically only...

    day isnt starting well

    simple pound a smaller impact socket on the stud with the lock - they come right off - I don't even bother after loosing mine and learning how easy the locks are to remove - really - a 3 lb hammer and a impact socket all your wheel locks are defeated - try it

    towing?'s

    oh just thought I should add - I guess I am a fairly old man - at 37 I've been there, drove lots, I even have my air brakes - used to drive firetruck and large RV's - so I have a bit of experience - I think the Expy is great but know it's limits, because my family and yours are sharing the highway

    the Gotts mod?

    I'll tell you one thing after a few years experience with the Expy - I don't care what you do to it, it is NOT good on gas - I don't think I saw ANY improvement in mileage, so who cares - a 5.4l V8 is going to drink gas - I accept that - but I do think throttle response is a bit better - I have...
