06' 4x4 Hub Noise

My left front hub is making a loud ratcheting noise when in 2wheel drive mode.
If I switch to 4Hi it goes away and comes right back when it is switched back to 2wd. Noise is intermitant in a striaght line and continuos when turning.

Truck has 62k miles and tows a 16 foot 3500lb trailer often.

Thanks
Dave

I seem to have found my own solution. A cut vacume line.

Must be a f150? Common problem on those, the problem is they apply vac for 2wd and take it away for 4x4. Wheel ends tend to fail often and the vac soliniod sucks in water and freezes in the winter.
