Quick add to my sig. Have replaced steering box and added borgeson shaft over summer. What a big change. Here is my ? With hubs locked in and in 2wd, no noise runs great. When I engage 4wheel, I get a clicking sound when turning hard left and a bit of noise when running straight under power, sound goes away if I push in clutch and coast. Any ideas?? U-joints on front driveshaft maybe? Cant check it out now, got 10 inches of snow on ground. Truck still goes anywhere in 4wd, just dont wana use it much till I get this resolved. I greased the whole front end a few months ago. Thanks in advance. Jeff

Based on your description, I'd start by checking out the U-joints in the steering knuckles.

Once again BC, thanks for the input, I knew I have seen that write up before. I can only hope that fixes my problem, but it seems strange that it wouldnt affect my hubs-in-2wd steering. Or I may be missing something, it happens alot for me. Thanks again., Jeff

I had the same problem but I found one of my lockouts had come apart and I guess it was allowing the axle shaft to have too much endplay. The bad thing is the lockouts for a diesel truck are four times higher than for the light axles!!

Are you talkin about the locknut that holds the whole axle in? Thats kinda scary to think about!!

No, just the lockout that locks the axle in and out.
