| Description of the problem | The integrated wheel end solenoid is prone to water from the cowl draining onto it, thus shorting out and allowing the 4x4 vacuum system to lose vacuum. When this happens, the truck's four wheel drive system engages unexpectedly and causes damage to the wheel hubs. Once this happens, the dealership costs are very expensive, requiring a new iwe solenoid, vacuum system, and front hubs. |
