Not easily. At TRR possibly, at Snoball probably not.
Replacement on the trail would require the following steps.
Hard stable surface to raise the offending wheel off the ground, jack and jack stands.
Raise vehicle high enough to place jack stand under front frame. Move jack to lower...
Joe it is not you... Your issue is just like mine and others.. Torsen torque multiplication just eats IWE. The service life numbers were for pre-torsen vehicles (which I got those numbers from Borg warner).
As far as Borg Warner is concerned there is no issue because we keep buying replacement...
Whitestar Industries or WSI is located in Olathe Kansas.. Squatting dog world headquarters is located by the airport in Kansas City

Got the official word from the boss.
The McManii will be there

It wouldn't, I was under the assumption that the IWE solenoid operated during remote start. This would allow more than enough time for sufficient vacuum to build. Since the IWE solenoid is not powered until key on, this would contribute to some of the issue. I know I remote start my truck and...
F250/f350 vacuum system uses vacuum to engage 4wd, while f150 uses it to disengage.
Ford and Borg warner are happy with this design up until 2012. The iwe would last 50-75k miles as designed.

I am hoping to have prototype set by the end of the month.. Then start torturing them before TRR and give go ahead with production in time for TRR.
-Greg (aka Squatting Dog)
Yes.. Until there is a solution to this weak as system. A couple of minutes each day may save the IWE for the time you need 4wd the most.

It would need to be more like shifting to 4 low. Even at 5 mph there is still some slipping and grinding until the locking ring fully seats on the hub gear. What normally happens is the locking ring slowly engages because of weak spring pressure. The force of bringing axles and differential up...
It is not the horsepower but the 434 ft/lbs of torque.. Then add the torsen with a ratio of 2.52:1 (I think) and then you are looking at close to 1100 ft/lbs! That is what tears the teeth off.

I know I have posted these somewhere before.. I couldn't find them..
So I will post them again..
This is your IWE...
IWE dissected
This spring is the only thing holding the locking ring engaged to the hub.. When the vacuum is released this spring pushes the ring onto the gear on the...
