| Does anyone know why my 4 wheel drive doesnt work? i used it about 3 months ago then recently i went to put it into 4 high i heard it engage but i am not getting any power to the front wheels. i have a 1997 ford f150. if anyone can help me determine the problem it would be greatly aprreciated. | |
I have an '03 Ford F - 150, 5.4 L and I can't get the 4x4 to engage. I've replaced the center axle disconnect solenoids and there's power flow but it just won't engage. What else could be the problem?

I have recently puchased a used F350 Super Duty Power Stroke Turbo Diesel and I just love it. I recently tried to use the four wheel drive with the shift on the fly switch on the dash. The light comes on but nothing. The hubs are on auto and nothing happens. I have followed all the proceedures to the letter. If I get out and turn the the hubs to lock, the on the fly feature on the dash works fine on, and off, on command. I thought it might be the shift motor on the transfer case but it's not becasue it does shift on and off. The problem is with the hubs not locking in and out automatically. I heard some rumors from different sources that ford has had some problems with this year and model. I went to the dealer and asked them what they thought, and they acted like it wasn't common, and that they haven't heard about this. I have an appointment to take it in, but I am not confident they are being truthful, and just want to keep the mechanics working for that day.They claim they will have to take the hubs apart and investigate. Yikes! They say 4to 5 hundred bux. I would like to know if anyone knows anything about this, and can share their experiance with me. Thanks guys.

| I also have a 1999 Ford Escort purchased for my sons in Vancouver. My oldest son has mentioned to me few times it would be nice to have a keyless entry to his car installed. I thought being close to xmas I should look into this and if it doesn't cost a arm and a leg, Santa could bring him one. Does anyone know if this is possible to install it or the approximate costs to do so? Thanks. | |

After reading all the transmission problems I couldn't find any one that really had m exact problem. I own a 2001 Supercrew and few months ago it started to shutter a little when I turn, some time its worse than others but I haven't noticed anything that makes it worse or better. The shutter is only when I turn, it almost feels like Im trying to turn while Im in four wheel drive, but my 4x4 light isn't on and when I turn and switch it switch's to 4x4 and I can feel the difference, especially if I try to turn the shutter is much worse. Also once I switch into 4x4 it is hard to switch out, it has never gotten stuck in 4x4 yet usually I can get it out by stopping and switching it back and fourth. I just $500 on front end work at the tire shop on new control arms. The mechanic at the tire shop thinks it might have something to do with my differential but he wasn't sure. Any ideas? |

| Hi I just bought my super duty with 120000 miles and the 4 wheel drive is not working. The drivers side bangs in and out with the occasional grinding when you accelerate. I have switched the hubs on the front and it still does it only on the drivers side. I have had two mechanics look at it and both told me it was the hubs but didnt fix the problem. I think it is in the axle. It is also very difficult to get out of 4 wheel drive wich usually consists of driving backwards and forwards to coherce it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. | |
