Pros & Cons
Pros
This is to help fix the suction issues of the front wheel hubs for 4 wheel drive if the ($35) ford solenoid is working fine. Good fair price on a oem motor craft replacement part. Fit exactly as it was intended and works on my 2010 f-150.
Took me 2 months to diagnose. Replaced the original control valve and works as described. Fixed the problem instantly. Test it by using your mouth to * a vacuum and use your finger to plug the other hole.
Cons
Didn't work on my ford f150 v6 3.
Highlights
Quality
Old valve was not maintaining vacuum for the iwe system.
Needed for the iwe front wheels to engage the 4-wheel drive system vacuum controlled .
Price
The exact part for my truck at a great price can't complaint.
Shipping
I used this in a ford van and very happy with it and quick shipping
Packaging/appearance
They replaced (yes this really happened): transfer case, both iwe modules, all of the front right hanger bearings for the drive... Read More
My iwe was trying to actuate while i was driving.
Competitiveness
I would suggest keeping a spare in the glove box as these are very inexpensive compared to replacing the iwe modules that get ground up.
I had replaced this product due to my iwe hub actuator not fully disengaging.

Read that the internals go bad over time well no more noise so that tells me that the original unit was not functioning properly

As the temps started to drop this fall i could hear the iwe module on the driver side want to engage while driving at about 2030 mph and suddenly letting off the gas

Would make sense as that is when the vacuum pressure would be at its lowest
