Could you add a link for the marker pen you’re using also. And thank you for all your good advices.
Good info!
Brian- waiting for the 9.75 limited slip clutch pack replacement (without removing carrier) :D
Question for u. Totally not related to this video but I have 2019 F-150 3.5L ecoboost. Cold start up has a bad clutter noise from engine. Now check engine light turns on and sluggish when taking off. At highway speeds it stays in low gear. I called dealer for cam phasers warranty but they said it's not out yet. Need help. I love my truck and use it for work. If I don't have my truck than I don't work. If I don't work I can't pay for truck and just a domino effect. 😊
@@Saltysteele hahahahahaha.... ME TOO!!!!!
You'd be hard-pressed to find a better Ford Mechanic on TH-cam IMHO who educates in a way that helps you save money and learn something. He's definitely saved me over a grand - easy. Between him and the South Main Auto Guy pretty much everything gets covered. TYVM.
There is another good one called Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics
@@richardk6291 He doesn't only do fords, but I have to agree he is great.
@@richardk6291 I'll check it out. TYVM for the information. Great resources on youtube. I didn't mean to suggest they were the only good guys on youtube - ooops it kind of reads that way. Lots of great people helping others in all sorts of trades.
Totally agree. Hands down.
He is very good
Saved this video two years ago just in case. The other day I felt the slip bump and knew exactly what was the problem. Getting ready to take my 2014 F-150 to the mechanic for repairs. Thanks for posting this.
Just did this on my 2012 F150 and it WORKED!! No more clunk at every stop. Great tutorial!!
I'm an old time master mechanic ( up to about 1985 cars, heavy equip and aircraft) and learn things from you all the time! I love your videos. Thank you!
Who wants to take bets that it hits a million views before the end of the month? This guy is a genius.
@G Money My comment was a bit tongue in cheek..."common sense" hardly grows on trees, hence the "genius"...same thing with the one million views...his videos are extremely popular as evidenced by more than a million views on any number of them that he has made. You're not even a Ford guy and here you are watching them. With all due respect...you are a fish that was just too easy to catch.
Yes he is. Plus he doesn’t mind sharing info. AWSOME.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!! I have owned 3 of these trucks and never knew what was causing this issue. I’ve looked all over and never found a solution. Thank you!
Aaaxaa
Holy hell... We've had our 2009 F-150 for around six yeasrs now. It's had this type of noise since we picked it up. This is the greatest news EVER!
Did this today on my 2011 F-150. With only 56,000 miles I was experiencing this and thought I bought a used truck with a major problem. Watched your video and got the tools for the job. Kit on Amazon was $29.49 shipped. I had everything else already. Did this with a jack and two stands. Just be careful. I took my time and followed the steps thoroughly and had nothing but great results. No more bump when taking off! I am pleased with this and if it will be no big deal if I need to do it again in the future. Great video! I used testors paint for reference marks. I made two different colored reference marks on the boot end and ended up needing both to ensure that I was properly lined back up. So happy with the results!
Your timing was perfect! I just got out of my truck to check for damage because I thought I got bumped. But this is what it was! Thanks for the fix!!¡
Just finished up with this repair. Yes it’s that easy. And this is coming from a guy who is challenged changing car batteries. If I can do it, YOU can do it. Thank you Fordtechmakuloco!!
This process corrected my issue 100% on my 2004 F150 with 215,000 miles…
Thanks for the video 😊🎉😊
"It's like a frickin' frosting packet or something." -- Official part description. GREAT VIDEO, again!
Toaster Strudel!
It would be funny if thats what Ford used as the lubricant and no one knew
GM has been issuing this Teflon lube in a pint size paint can for driveshaft since the 1980's.
Poisonous but effective. Don't eat it and don't get it anywhere near children or pets. Yes you have to say so in so many words.
@@dannylinc6247 but it looks so good! When i was a kid i used to drink motor oil and look how I turned out lol jk
@@Jacob1986 at GM they said I can have my own can of the stuff if I promised to glove up and "do not lick your fingers"
This problem has annoyed me ever since I bought my 2011 f series used at three years old. I read how to fix it online, but this sums it up much better. I’m going to order a kit right now and end the annoyance permanently! Thanks Brian!
For the longest time, I thought I had a transmission issue with 1st gear!
Me too...my father in law gave me crap about Ford transmissions. He’s obviously a Chevy man.
That's what I thought until I found this video!
Also me just today I had my raptor 2014 truck jerk lurch to the front almost hit the guy in the stop sign . Now I know it’s a driveshaft problem
My so called Authorized dealers / technicians are clueless and i thought it was the freakin leaf springs all this time!!!! They literally told me its for off road purposes!!! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
Same! Doing this job tomorrow!
I gotta say thanks a lot for this video, you pointed out the directions so clearly that it only took me about 2 hours to get the job done.
The result was impressive, the driving is so freaking smooth right now!!!! I was pissed off about that bump while taking off or stopping, I drive a f150 2012 fx2 with 140k miles, Thanks a lot again and keep up the good job that you are incredibly doing.
I have the same exact truck with the same exact issue. First time watching this video. Glad to see it fixed the issue for you.
Took my 2019 f150 (30k miles) back to the dealer for this problem. Had it back for two months and it’s back. Extremely annoying problem for a brand new truck! I’m gonna try this stuff.
I got the same year and same problem
Thanks to this video I ordered the parts for my 2009 f150 and made the repair today, that spline was bone dry. Easy job and the problem went away.
I can't believe I dealt with this problem for the last 6 years and never knew exactly what it was.
Guy you are the epitome of what instructing, teaching, training is and should be. To properly explain something and why is the best for anyone to learn and retain the information and lessons. If people dont comprehend or understand, they wont learn anything, they'll simply just be repeating what they heard/saw. Example, such as at 5:15 some guys would just say to mark it, but not explain why. The 'why' is what makes people really learn it. Excellent video.
Update to my previous post 3 weeks ago: THIS WORKED on my 2007 F150! I have been dealing with this annoying Klunk for years! I just followed your steps and I am good to go! Thank you!
Glad this worked. Going to try it in my 06, was getting concerned it might be something else after hearing it's most common on 09-14
I’ve had to do this twice on my ‘07 FX2. Easy job and I don’t jack the rear, I put it on ramps, parking brake on, front wheels chocked and trans in neutral to unload it. Easy to get the shaft off, separate, clean and grease the reassemble making sure to phase the u-joints correctly. For a boot clamp I fuse a heavy zip tie and it works. Repeat every 80,000 miles. When I bought the truck it had the clunk and I got the price down $2,000 because of it. 1 hour later it was fixed. Enjoying your channel. 195,000 miles on the 5.4L and going strong.
I started feeling this slip bump a month ago.. Found this awesome video , ordered the ford part from Amazon , installed this morning.. 2011 with 230k , never serviced.. Its like a brand new truck!!! Thanks for sharing..peAce
We had the same problems in late 70s and early 8os. Same solution ford teflon grease but by the can.
I'd just like to add something for the back yard mechanics.
To torque the driveline hub bolts, I just left the vehicle up on jacks and shifted into park, otherwise it's very difficult to get the 76ft/lbs necessary. You have to shift back to neutral to rotate for the next bolt but it's alot easier and safer than trying to hold the tires in position.
I used the parking brake to hold it steady. Had to crawl out, release the brake, crawl under, rotate to the next bolt, crawl out, etc. It was about a two hour job for me also. If I had to do it again, it would probably be an hour. If I had access to a lift, it would probably be ten minutes 😊
Its so entertaining and refreshing to see someone work who truly knows their craft! Keep up the awesome content 👍
We have a 95 Bronco with the jerking symptoms exactly as you describe. Of course it has a one-piece driveshaft but the very short wheelbase really exacerbates this issue. Terrific info - Thanks!!
All Broncos have a slip joint in it similar the one in this video
I did this easy fix last week. Repair kit worked perfect. Thank you for the link, brother. USAF mech retired.
I did this fix on my 2006 super duty. Absolutely a necessary fix.
Nice! I am feeling that 'bump' in my 2008 F250. The truck begins rolling off the red light and moves ahead a couple feet, then BUMP, that invisible car behind me hits my bumper.
My 2004 F350 did that. I bought the entire tube of the blue slip joint grease from my ford dealer. Once a year I repack the joint and she stays nice and quite
I’ve got a 98 ford ranger, I’m almost positive this is a problem after watching. Never really thought anything of that weird surge while taking off. Thanks for the video.
Bryce , I had a 2000 Ranger a few years ago that I got cheap because the " trans had problems " . I pulled the shaft , which had dry splines , lubed it up
and the problem was gone . One hour well spent .
the ford ranger has the same issue.
My 2017 F150 does the same thing. You always feel a bump while accelerating or braking to/from a complete stop 🤣
@@bill3641 Awesome I’m definitely gonna do that to my truck.
The 2019-2023 Rangers can have the same issue. Remember our US Rangers are actually 2011 era trucks. I did this on mine. So far seems much better. I've come across a lot of current Ranger owners with this issue online. Some have luck getting a dealer to lube it, some (like me) don't and end up doing it ourselves.
Excellent video dude... 5 stars. I'm going to give this procedure a massive 2 thumbs up. Did it on my 2014 F150 5.0L 4x4 Lariat SCC and the annoying bump is completely gone. Thanks to your step by step explanations, the job was not difficult at all and took only about 30 minutes.
You are a great ford tech. I used your 5.4 3v timing chain video on my 07 3v mustang that was 50,000 miles ago. Great videos thanks for the work to make these videos
Thanks. I saw your original video a few years ago, but I have a two-piece driveshaft…so I lived with it. I just ordered all the parts since I saw this video.
THANK YOU! I was hounding forums for this issue a couple years ago and no one knew what was causing it. I knew it wasn't the trans because it shifted so smoothly. Getting on this fix immediately.
Its almost like the internet can read your mind. I am having this exact problem in my 2010 F-150. Thanks so much for the video.
I watched this video last week when it was first published and I realized that the problem that the pickup in this video had sounded familiar to the problem that my 2004 F-150 had. I ordered the Ford Motorcraft kit that was linked in the description and attempted this fix myself. What a difference! This solved my driveline bump issue immediately. Thanks to this video, I saved literally hundreds of dollars (because I thought that I might have had a worn ring gear) and it did not take long at all. Everything that FordTechMakuloco said in this video helped me as a novice mechanic to do it myself. Thanks for the great content!
The answer to my prayers and questions on wtf could be making the slip with my truck has been answered thank you so much bro
The algorithm knows too much. This is exactly what my Nissan Frontier is doing. Taken it to 3 different shops, including the dealer, describing what I was feeling. "Drive shaft is tight, brakes are good," all three times. I know what I'm doing next Saturday. Thank you!
Very good video and I definitely have this problem. Ford "fixed" it a few years ago and it has progressively gotten bad again. They fixed it free of charge because it seemed that there was a recall. I don't know if I will be fortunate to have them fix it again free and do it right.
My real reason to post a comment and maybe you've already done a video on this (if so, please send me the link) is that I have a 2012 Ford F-150 Super Crew 5.0 with the split shaft and I think my U-Joints need to be replaced. I can see how you removed the lower shaft. I have considered replacing these joints as allegedly Ford said (back when they replaced the slip bump issue) that these were going bad. Why did I not have Ford do it? $1000 to do it. I have helped my dad many years ago change the u-joints on an '87 F-150 (single shaft) many years ago before there was internet, let alone TH-cam videos with tips. He did it but he also complained he didn't do it right. I'd like to avoid $1000 repair if I can do it myself. Do you have a video?
Thought my transmission was about to quit. Did this first. It always had a stop start bump. Then recently slight jolts in shifting but not every time and not the same gear either. This helped everything. Feels solid and not sloppy anymore.
I had this problem on an '89 Volvo 760 Turbo Wagon; it took me a while to figure it out, but once I discovered what was happening, the fix was easy! 😎
You did the differential fluid while it was up in the air. I did mine just before winter hit, thanks to your instructional video.
Sir, thank you so much!
I just took on this project today.
Following all your instructions.
And well…
Damn son!
My truck is running like a dream!!!!
I brought the kit at a local dealership for 33 bucks
Lock tight for 6 bucks
Marking pen for 6 bucks
Harbor Freight has the pliers for 10 bucks
12 mm 12 sprocket was spot on!
Had to place in neutral and park to remove bolts
Used all hand tools
but it worked great!
Just bought a 2011 F150 lariat Supercrew, and was sick thinking it might be having tranny problems. Ordered the "kit" from Amazon, followed your video, and it's now buttery smooth when starting and stopping. For anyone planning to try this, I had to use a family member's air impact wrench to get the 4 bolts loose - so you may need to think ahead if you dont have one. Thank you!!
NO MORE CLUNK!! So thankful. Great video. Thank you. Watched this video a few times before doing it. 1996 Eddie Bauer Bronco. Tons of work done on it, still had the clunk.
Followed the instructions provided in this video.
CLUNK BE GONE!!!
Binding, sticking and popping - that was my break dancing move back in the day
it's what my knees do now.
TheFiremonkeyman Them years of kneeling? 😂
That's what my knees do when I walk, bend, or stand still. I just need some Teflon grease.
You sir, are a Godsend. Just fixed my driveline clunk and am about to service my 10R80 following your other video. Thank you.
Thank you for the technical support you share. I have 3, F-150s. My 18 trans does not operate properly until warm, it goes crazy if I punch it.
Driveshaft “busting you in the face” is never a good thing. Another quality video! 👍🏼👍🏼
I was experiencing this in my 2008 F250 V 10. I took it to the dealer and they tried to say it was leaf springs and wanted $3800. Bullshit. I took it to the shop I used to trust and they told me it was rear end related and they don’t do that. I found this video and decided to pull it out today and re-grease it. Problem fixed and it’s as smooth as butter. Thanks for the video.
Omg I told the dealership about this over and over they looked at me like I was crazy. Dealership refused to fix it under warranty
now you know. FTM. ROCK'S, Go back to the dealer n tell him "FTM ROCK'S" I shall sue your ASS. I would. LOL. However do not mention our Ford GOD aka FTM. THX.
They must have wanted to make some diagnostic money.
Me too. I took my 2012 in at 5k miles with this. They said it was “ normal “. I’m a shop owner or 20 years now. I called BS to their face and they just looked at me. I changed the trans mount , and rear end oil on my dime trying to fix it. Took it to a driveshaft shop , they balanced the shaft ( 1 piece ) And still nothing. After that I just lived with it 146 k miles now. Now I guess I’ll fix it. Lol
Thank you from a Ford 150 owner with a two piece drive shaft.
This guy has to be a Marine or prior military of some sort. He instructs just like my instructors did😎
I did the repair on my 2010 F-150 and it's quiet now. I was able to get the yoke bolts out with a 12" ratchet handle - so no need for an impact driver. :) The only trouble was crimping the clamp. It takes some force. Thanks for the video.
You are more man than me, lol. I just did this on my '21 Ranger and needed an impact wrench.
@@ejhayes76 Evidently yours was tighter.
Awesome video. I bought a 2013 Ford F-350 6.7 liter turbo diesel ,and been having the clunk sound going on for awhile now.. So glad i came across your video.. My spline had a blue coating on it and was very dry. Did not require much clean-up of old grease as there was not much in there. Bought the repair kit and it was the perfect amount. Truck feels great now and i am no longer afraid to pour the coals to it at a stop light.... Thanks again
Thank you for posting video like this. As a ford truck driver(09 f150). This video like this really helps.
You saved me so much money! I have an 09 f150 with the same issue and I went to a shop down the street and told him to lube that and charged me only 120$ and it fixed the problem
I replaced my entire driveshaft for 950 bucks. Best money I’ve ever spent. Smooth riding now.👍
Types of mechanics Tech who takes pride in their work.
Good job
2014 F150 FX4. Just did this - it fixed it. Before it was very noticeable - even the slightest gas from start would act like someone nudged you from the rear. Now its smooth. Hopefully it holds up. The shaft splines looked good - you could see the special coating on the metal. Oh and the receiver section was almost complexly dry. I did not have a 12mm 12 point nor the pliers. Total for the kit and tools was under $50 and from start to end including cleanup and test drive was about an hour. Well worth it!
Thank You ! This worked like a charm on my 2012 F-150 . Got the kit off Amazon and did in my garage with no jacks ...right on the ground ...
Took me about 1 hour with basic hand tools. Clunk GONE !! Video really helped! Thanks again!
Also works great on Tacoma driveshaft binding. Been using this grease (Blue version) on my 2012 for a while and works great. The Motorcraft PTFE grease is great stuff!
Yea I think that I need this also. Have a 2010 Lincoln Navigator with 6R80 and two piece driveshaft. I have felt the kick in the rear feeling you describe when letting off the gas at lower speeds. I thought the transmission was shifting rough, maybe not.
I always wondered what that was!
best professional mechanic on the internet!
I fixed this on my '07 following your old video. Was driving me crazy for months. Hasn't made a sound since I lubricated it 5 years ago.
Every time I see these videos I wished I lived close enough to swing by so you can do this for me
THANK YOU I have been trying to figure this out for a while now. Just did this and now my truck drives so smooth.
I have this same problem currently and my mechanic told me it was transmission I too thought it was because it slams sometimes when shifting into second gear man I hate it. A friend of mine who’s also a mechanic ask me if I’m shore it’s not the drive shaft or diff with this video I’m definitely gonna do it myself along with a friend as we do a bit of mechanic ourselves thanks man will definitely hit you up and let you know if it solves the problem .
Did it solve the problem?
Unexpected Kilmer grunts get me all the time 😂
Our family had a 1962 Ford Country Squire station wagon that had a similar clunk. I went to the Ford dealer and they gave me a kit that consisted of a spring and washers and grease that would slide over the rear portion and apply pressure on the front shaft to keep it from clunking. It worked.....
Great video. Ordered the new grease. I've used the blue Ford grease in the past, but it doesn't hold up for too long. Hopefully the white grease keeps the bump away!
Great video helped me a lot I was struggling because my jack stand won't go high enough to be able to turn the wheels but it got done regardless thanks again
Man. I tried this and was surprised. Seemed like there was grease in the spline when I pulled it apart, but it was pretty sticky in a couple spots as it came apart. Wouldn't have expected a shaft that clearly still had some grease could affect how the truck drives so much. So much smoother now off the line, and from forward to reverse, parking lots, and even braking.
Had this on my 99 Ranger years ago. Took two shops to find the issue. One had my brakes tore apart trying to find it! After the lube it was niiiice.
If I am not mistaken I saw alignment splines inside the female part of the drive shaft. But marking it before you take it just makes sure it goes back together right
There is a double wide groove on the female side but no corresponding groove on the male side. It can be installed in any position, so it is very important to mark the relation.
@@FordTechMakuloco your videos are very helpful love watching them. I wish I was close to you so you could trouble shoot my F 150 because the dealer can't
@@FordTechMakuloco I just did my truck two days ago and forgot to mark it, now I’ve got a slight vibration. What can I do about it ?
Thank You! I don't have an issue but the truck has never been touched so I ordered the bits and shall perform this weekend.
I just completed this fix. It worked! It took me two hours but no more bump at stop or take off. Thank you bro!! I love my F150 again. Next thing is exhaust manifolds. Fingers crossed that goes as planned without and broken studs.
This is true, this guy is an excellent mechanic!!! This video help my to fix this exactly issue, mechanics told me that I have to replace the transmission!!lol.
Great video.
I've had this problem for a month.
Scrapping my pants thinking it was the transmission.
It bumped only twice after the fix.
Then no more issue.
Wow
Thanks.....
My 05 just started having this “THUD” feeling. Feel it stopping and whenI start.
Good video.
Just did this on 04 f350 and it definitely was this easy to do and all it needed was to be greased up and the bump is 100% gone! I didnt get the kit and i used different grease but i think it will hold up with no issues. I still cant believe it just needed grease. I had mechanics tell me i needed a new differential when i explained it over the phone and was quoted 2k for the fix
Perfect timing. I went to do this using your other video on the one piece drive shaft. Seen I had a two piece and here is the video of just what I needed. Favorite channel for Ford DYI.
The best video you have done! I have the exact same truck with the exact same problem! I have had two separate local Ford dealers do this service, both did it incorrectly. The first lied about using the white Teflon grease. They used blue grease as we discovered at the second dealer. The second dealer used the Teflon grease, but only on the slip yoke that slides into the transfer case. Not sure if any of them did the mid section yoke, if they did they didn’t mark the splines. I took your old video on my iPad to the second dealer to show em how should be done. I have 3 or 4 Ford dealers in this town and all have incompetent service departments. Thank you for this video! 2014 F150 157 WB 6.2 V8 4X4 12k miles.
Awesome fix! I spent years trying to figure out what was causing the "bump" in my 2nd Gen Dodge 2500. Thank you.
Good demonstration. If it was my vehicle I'd probably strip and re-grease the U/J's. (Primarily because I hate grovelling about underneath, getting grit in my eyes)
Is it worth putting more of the grease into the spline socket? That way the pressure generated when you push it home forces grease into the splines rather than pushing it out into the boot.
I thought I was imagining the clunk since it doesn't do it often. Now I have something else to look into or fix. Wish I had access to a lift, getting too old to squirm under vehicles. Lol
I just did the repair on my 2011. Your step by step video was perfect. Hopefully this will solve the problem. The grease that was in there was grey and there wasn’t much of it. Also noticed a couple of minor scrapes in that Teflon coating. Don’t think that I did it as all I did was slide the shaft out and put it on the bench. Seemed to be dented inward so hopefully the new grease will fill them in. I’ve done all the service on the truck so they must have occurred at the factory. May be contributing to some of their issues. Again, great video,
Perfect timing on this video
My 2013 F150 just started to make this noise! Thanks😎
Want to say thank you, it worked 🙏🙏.. been driving around in 06 Ford for the last three years thinking that it was my rear end that was going out, but nope just a slip yoke that needed grease 😶🤷.....on your video and a couple other videos that I saw when you guy toke out the slip yoke, you guys still had a little grease in it. mine was bone dry 🤯💀💀.. but now running better than ever no more clunking noise and extremely smooth on the expressway 🤔😁... But just did want to say thank you for the video I use your video mainly as a reference👍👍
Excellent thanks...my 2012 SCREW is becoming obnoxious...time to lube it up.
Fixed my truck this weekend. Easy repair, amazing how nice it is not having the clunk! Thanks again for the video!
Hot damn, I'm gonna try this on my 94 Ranger. I bet it's drier than Betty White's back.
Ugh that made me vurp 😂 good one!
Great video. This will be part of my routine maintenance along with the lead frame upgrade on my 2014.
Not mentioned in the video, there is an 8th inch protruding ring on the gear case under the Yoke holding it in position. Once the shaft is lose. it may spin slightly because of that. Very small prybar can help you release the drive shaft.
pry bar is my choice too, a light ballpeen tap to help the pry is a help but I don't like hard raps on a universal joint unless you are seating a new or replaced set of bearing cups. Metal stretch does funny things on rotating assemblies.
Man hooked on your channel, saving big $$$ on ford maintenance! Nice safety Tips, Great content
He released a 2V spark plug repair video right after my F-250s V10 spit a plug. After having a local machine shop "fix" the same issue on my Mustang resulting in another blowout and engine fire under 100 miles later I decided to fix it myself for cheaper. It's been a few years and my driveway fix using the tools, advice, and methods in his video is still holding up, sucker pulls my camper all over 6 months out of the year and drags my brothers boat to the lake and back each season as well. I'm certainly thankful for his contribution to the Ford owners community and have happily shared his videos with fellow owners over the years.
Thank you so much for this video. I have a 2009 f150 that has this issue and I always thought it was my transmission. The transmission shop told me there's nothing wrong with my tranny but they didn't know what was causing the problem. I can do this on my driveway this summer. Your videos are the best thing on TH-cam. Thanks again 🙏
My 2005 F150 xlt had it as well(200k+ miles). I ended up buying a tube of the Ford lube, and just used zip ties to hold the boot back on. Every other oil change Id grease it up while I was under there. Never an issue again.
You are a life saver my friend,,it was a 15 to 20 minutes job thanks to your video, it took me longer to get ready than actually doing the repair.. Keep up the good work
Great fix honestly I don’t even own a Ford, but I have heard complaints of Ford owners having a clunk, so this makes sense!! Off-topic issue here why do companies elect not to paint or do anything with the differentials and driveshaft as far as rust protection!! I mean isn’t it pretty stupid to put together a vehicle just to have the drivetrain components!! I have a 2016 Rebel, and had to paint everything underneath before I wanted to use it!! Anyway always great videos👍!!
Had that clunk on the 2000 F150 I have. I had 2 problems. The slip joint was dry given the 200k on the truck. Also around the same time the rear spider gears were worn making a similar noise. Truck now has 241k and no issues. I did the slip joint used the motor craft grease. I used zip ties for the boot works great. I let the mechanic replace the spider gears and replace a leaking axle seal. Stay on top of fixes and these 4.6 will go 300k +
