| Thanks, I will get one. I narrowed my 4X4 problem to the switch, I found one on Ebay for $25, the dealers here don't carry it anymore and Bronco Graveyard wants $180 so I took a chance for $25, if it doesn't work, it's only $25, Thanks again, Billyzack | |

My 05 F250 Fx4 V10 shifts itself into 4wd high without moving the control knob. The 4x4 dash lite comes on & can hear the shift taking place. Hubs are set to auto. If stopped and key off then back on it always returns to 2wd; but moving the knob to 4wd then back to 2wd while key on will not reset to 2wd. This is very intermitant; some days it does it some days not. Local Ford service manager can't find problem or info on Ford net.

He took the time to detail it with pictures and everything, I say he did better than any manuals I've ever read. He goes by the name of guzzle, check him out.

| When I'm in 4 wheel drive and turning slightly I get a popping noise in the front left hub. Has anyone else experienced this before? if so what are the possible causes and cures. I have not yet had time to pull it apart to check. Any information would be helpful. | |

4x4 cannot be used on dry pavement. The axles are locked together in 4x4. So, when you are in a turn, the front wheels follow a different path than the rear wheels. Accordinly they spin at different speeds. When you are not on pavement, the froont wheels can slip and you don't hear this popping. Mark |

I've had 2 torque converters replaced in the past 2 years for transmission "shudder". The 1st time it took care of the problem, but this last time it didn't. It acts like its slipping when I'm on the highway, in overdrive, going about 65 to 70 and above. But it also does it to a lesser extent when I'm accelerating from a stop. I've read in another forum that it could also be a "miss" caused by either faulty plugs, plug wires, an O2 sensor, clogged fuel injector, or bad fuel filter. Can anyone tell me if they've experienced this, and what did it take to fix it? I don't want to replace everything if I can narrow it down. Thanks.

I just bought and picked up my newly purchased 2003 Ford F-250 Superduty XLT Sport Package. It has 120k on it. And I got it as a as is deal from NH. And the 4/wd wont work. It has the dial for a 4/wd shift. When I go to shift it into 4/wd it will not engage. And the 4/wd light does not show up on the dash. If you can help me on what this can be. If you know how to electrical test the switch can you let me know also. I will like ot be able to use the 4/wd since it came with a plow. _________________________________________________ all the fuses are good. the front shaft is locked in. the switch has power. but it is not switchin power to the front. _________________________________________________ well i put a jump it and jumper wires to the transfer case motor. and the transfer case moved and made noise. but i dont hear the sound when it is on the truck. when its in the truck i get NO POWER to the motor. If someone could tell me where the relays are for the motor and how i can test them. _________________________________________________ well the relays are good. and saturday at about 5pm est time. i had to go to town. and i had the wires and stuff all hooked to the motor. and i stopped to do something. and i heard a big boom. the transfer case tried to go into gear by itself. and then the motor was turning like it was trying to go in. then i went about 50ft. then it locked into 4/wd. then the motor started to make the noise again so i pulled the fuse and it stopped. and at this point it was locked into 4 hi so i put the fuse in to put it back into 2/wd. and it did but the front hubs were locked. then i went to turn around and it tried to engage while i had it in gear and i hear the gear grinding in the transfer case.it happend about 4 times. then the front hubs unlocked by itself. so i slowly at 5mph drove it a mile. and i parked it. so this morning i pulled the 2 wires off the transfer case motor. and it is fine now. this all started and the switch wasnt even in 4hi or 4lo. it was in 2/wd. I am starting to feel this truck is a hazard on the road. PLEASE HELP!

I have a 1993 Econoline van E150 with the straight six engine. I am not getting any fuel through the injector because they are not opening. I am getting the hot or positive side but I am not getting ground. Ground is supposed to come from the PCM or computer but I'm not getting it. Is there any sensor that the could cause the computer to not give me a ground?
