Ford SuperDuty locking hubs...

just take off the snap ring and remove them, the hub is held on by the 4 studs on the back, should be ok for a short test
ive heard that the bearing packs are $400 each, hope thats not what it is, but like you said you can switch just about everything side to side to see

I know the PCV valves in the gas engines are good for making a humming sound when they go bad. Dont know about diesel though. Just a thought.

Robert,Have you tried getting all four wheels off the ground and running it in gear?

Humming sound,Sounds like a bearing.. Don't blame ya on not wanting to throw anymore parts at it till you know for sure.

I'm home sunday,will be in the garage till the game starts (4:15PM). Stop over ,I got enough jack stands to get her of the ground.

Your welcome to stay for the game.

Nick
