As far as IWE deletes go and daily driving the truck, I'm not sure what I would do. I had run the IWEs for about 2 years with no luck of having "reliable" 4WD at any point during that time. I ended up getting a new job, where I needed to commute about 45 minutes each day, compared to my old commute of 15 minutes. So I ended up picking up a 2013 Focus ST to daily. Love it. Back on track now, originally I wasn't sure how the IWE delete would change the drivability of the truck. My original interpretation was that the IWE delete would keep the truck in 4WD, all the time. Obviously that's not the case, it just makes the only disconnect of 4WD in the transfer case. So with not dailying my truck any longer, and the want of a reliable 4WD system, I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I honestly couldn't be happier with how they work, so far, no issues, no weird noises, and no worry on the trails. I am excited to try them out this summer as Silver Lake Sand Dunes here in Michigan will test these out a little more than the trails. But now onto my opinion. Do they effect drivability at all? No. My truck handles no different than when I was on IWEs, I legitimately cannot tell the difference.  However, I went from averaging 10.5-11 mpg to now I'm happy to see 10 mpg.The other kickerDo they wear out your CVs and front differential? I mean yes, because now they're constantly spinning, but in my mind, they're not under load, so had bad could it really be? I had talked to numerous people who had installed these previously and had been running them for years without problems.Would I run them if I was still daily driving my truck? I honestly don't knowIf money was no object and I didn't care about trying to squeeze out some mpg's, then yeah I would definitely throw them on If I only went offroading a couple of times a year, and never really went into 4WD, then no I'd probably keep the IWE system to prevent additional wear on my 4WD.At the end of the day, I would weigh out how much driving you do, how much off-roading you do, and how much you care about gas mileage. Also, how much you value 4WD.</blockquote>
