Different Supercrew 4x4 Problem by jeff155
Dec 16, 2007 (8:46 pm)

After reading all the transmission problems I couldn't find any one that really had m exact problem. I own a 2001 Supercrew and few months ago it started to shutter a little when I turn, some time its worse than others but I haven't noticed anything that makes it worse or better. The shutter is only when I turn, it almost feels like Im trying to turn while Im in four wheel drive, but my 4x4 light isn't on and when I turn and switch it switch's to 4x4 and I can feel the difference, especially if I try to turn the shutter is much worse. Also once I switch into 4x4 it is hard to switch out, it has never gotten stuck in 4x4 yet usually I can get it out by stopping and switching it back and fourth.
I just $500 on front end work at the tire shop on new control arms. The mechanic at the tire shop thinks it might have something to do with my differential but he wasn't sure. Any ideas?

2000 super duty 4x4 issue by godchsrf150

Hi I just bought my super duty with 120000 miles and the 4 wheel drive is not working. The drivers side bangs in and out with the occasional grinding when you accelerate. I have switched the hubs on the front and it still does it only on the drivers side. I have had two mechanics look at it and both told me it was the hubs but didnt fix the problem. I think it is in the axle. It is also very difficult to get out of 4 wheel drive wich usually consists of driving backwards and forwards to coherce it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You also have to have the auto-transmission in neutral to engage the 4x4 low.

A GEM of a mess by jfarrow

The 4wd on my1999 F250 quit working about two months ago. The problem is the GEM (Generic Electronic Module) but these are back ordered until 2011 and there is no substitute. Has anyone else out there had problems with these and, more importantly, did you come up with any solutions? I love the truck, but will need 4wd before 2011.
 
Thanks

2011? Ouch. I'd strongly consider trading for another truck. Doesn't have to be a new one, just one that works.

I know you are right, but I haven't gotten over being mad at Ford yet. It just seems like a hell of a way to treat a customer.

I have had the exact same thing happen, I fought it for a year, the only thing thats wrong is you have leaky front hub seals.

Was it the axle seals? I have the same problem.

I have a 2005 (50K) with the same problem. I find if I do the following the 4 wheel drive engages:
key off
turn 4 wheel slector to 4 wheel high
start truck
the 4 wheel engages (light on)
Wish I knew what the problem is. I would like to fix it.
