Have a F 150/ 2010 with 45 k miles. Truck has been trouble free till now, developed a ticking noise, seems like front axle. I thought Wheel hub not engaging in 4 wd, Had it checked today garage, not a dealer shop, but I trust these guys say the think it is catalytic Converter. I am stunned, anyone every hear of this? Noise is like u hold a stiff piece of paper to bicycle spokes. Noise goes away if u shift to 4 wd, also if u let off the gas. Any help welcome!

If you google the symptoms you'll often find a lot of people with similar issues on any vehicle or appliance or whatever. It seem most issues are common to a certain year and type of vehicle. X2

Does it do it when you are setting still or only when its going down the road? Seems to be when moving, going to try n power brake it n see if problem is there.

Sounds like the actuator in the wheel. Very common.
There is a part on the firewall that controls vacuum going to the actuators. What the actuators do is engage your 4 wheel drive. It sounds like a clicking noise when the wheel turns

I bet you have a crack or a hole in one of your vacuum lines that engage your 4x4. If you look behind your front wheels you’ll see hoses connecting to the actuators. Check those lines and make sure they’re connected first, then check for cracks. It’s a pretty common thing.

Very common on f-150's. In Ford brilliance they decided that no vaccuum is 4wd and vacuum is 2wd. So if you loose vacuum the actuators at the wheel attempt to engage. Have changed many of the vaccuum solenoids at the fire wall and quite a few Integrated Wheel Ends as ford calls the actuators at the wheel.
Your entitled to oxygen. Everything else is earned.

Makes a ticking sound and won't go into 4x4? They think its the exhaust? Wow.
