This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
Grinding noise reminds you of driving with bad rotors and no breaks. The four wheel drive is trying to engage on it's own under various conditions.Towing,not towing, 5 mph,50mph. It happens intermittently so the dealership can't here it wont fix it. Ford is jerking me around about the repairs. So here I sit with 12,000 miles on a truck I bought in nov. of 2008 with hub problems. I am looking for people with similar problems to email me. They want me to drop it off at a dealer with no rental car and let them drive it for one mile or 100 miles until they hear the noise. Then they will schedule a ford engineer out to drive it and then try to come up with a fix. All at my lose of a truck. So if it takes more than a couple of days I must cancel my vacations because I use this truck to tow my 5th wheel all over Michigan.

Had Actuator hub replaced, ruined wheel bearing replaced, solenoid for actuator replaced and a month later it started grinding again.
