4X4 problems

[black_phoenix90]

Hey everyone,

I wondered if someone can give me some insight into my problem. My 4x4 will not engage. I have jacked up the front of the truck with the vehicle off. With the vehicle off there is no vacuum pressure so the 4x4 should be engaged. This is what I found:

- the driver's side wheel, when spun, turns the front drive shaft and the passenger's side cv axle but not the wheel

- the passenger's side wheel, when spun, free spins. There is no grinding no humming no resistance. It does not turn the axle or drive shaft.

- when I turn the vehicle on, both wheels free spun (as expected)

- when I select 4H I get the same results as when the vehicle is off (passenger's side wheel still doesnt engage)

I have come to the conclusion that I need to replace the IWE (integrated queen end) on the driver's side. But everywhere I read, when someone has trouble with the 4X4 system or the IWEs the problem is it won't disengage since a spring forces it to be engaged in its resting position.

Has anyone had similar problems? If so what was the cause/solution?

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Sounds like you have a bad hub. If it was the iwe it would affect both wheels.
