    GEN 1 I need Help please - Front grinding noise

    My rotors & pads are fairly new, a year maybe. Calipers are original but I did grease the pins and checked them about a months ago. They seemed ok but I won't rule that out. (I have new calipers ready for install. Preventative maintenance)

    That I did not do. I cycled it through 4L and 4H then back down to 4L and drove it around the block then I put it back to 2. I can put it on 4H and drive it around the block a few times.

    GEN 1 I need Help please - Front grinding noise

    I get a wrench light when I tried to engage the 4 wheel drive a few months back, 2 or 3 months. I did already make some purchases, CV axles and actuators. When I installed the new hubs, everything in that area was pretty worn out. I cleaned it out as best i could.
