Well popped the hood today to jump off a friend to find a vacuum line unhooked.. That very line went to the iwe solenoid which locks and unlocks the hubs. Put it back on and waalaa, no vibrations. I guess both hubs were locked which pretty much lead me to drive in 4wd (with out the pulling...

Both hubs were original, I'm pretty sure the other one is going out, just couldn't believe they both did it at the same time. The tires shouldn't be unbalanced yet unless it slung a weight off I just got the new wheels put on maybe a month ago. I'm just going to keep an eye on it and when it...

~300 miles not a drop of oil burnt! No CEL no problems :)

Didn't even have a CEL at startup by the way!

All the hard work payed off finally! Cranked up for the first time like I had parked it the day before. I know this truck from top to bottom so if any of y'all ford guys have problems just holler! Sorry bout the bad iPhone pic quality
