#46 of 125 Simple 4x4 question by fatandawesome Dec 11, 2007 (7:31 am)
My friend has a ford ranger 4x4, and we where debating wether or not she should put weight in the back of it while in 2 wheel drive.   Is the ranger rear wheel drive while in 2 wheel drive, or front wheel drive?   I know this is real simple question, but thanks for any input.

Replying to: fatandawesome (Dec 11, 2007 7:31 am) It's a rear wheel drive rig when in 2WD. Weight is only important in a low-traction situation, like snow/ice. Otherwise, unneeded weight will just slow the truck down and reduce its fuel economy.   kcram - Pickups Host

I have a 1997 Ranger 4 X 4. When disengaging from 4wd the truck runs ok but a mile or so down the road you will hear it grinding. Then I stop and put it in reverse and it seems to be ok. Any ideas about what is wrong? Replies to this message: kevin97116 (Feb 27, 2008 4:52 pm) twalden (Apr 23, 2008 6:34 pm)

Replying to: russpatz (Feb 27, 2008 11:34 am) Sounds like your automatic hubs, according to the owner's manual the proper way to disengage them is to rotate the dash switch to 2WD then back up 10-20 ft or so, then proceed forward. This takes the tension off the hubs and allows them to retract into "free" position. If they still have the force of moving the vehicle working on them they won't slide out until that force weakens (like deceleration for example)   When shifting out of 4WD into 2WD, try doing so when stopped, back up a short distance, then proceed forward and see it that solves your problem.   good luck Kevin
#50 of 125 Can't get 4x4 to engage! by jeckelberry Mar 10, 2008 (1:28 pm)
I have a 93 ranger 4.0 4x4. The 4wheel drive wasn't working when I bought it. So, not knowing any history of the truck. I bought a new shift motor. I put in on. Still nothing. I tried a different box and switch still nothing. I have had the truck for 6 months just now got the motor for it. Is it possible that the transfer case is gummed up and causing my shift motor to be unable to engage it? Please help if you can really want to get it fixed!

Replying to: jeckelberry (Mar 10, 2008 1:28 pm) Not likely a "gummed up tranfer case". Here's what I would do.... 1)check to see if power is getting to shift motor.     NO? a) fuses               b) wiring/connectors     YES?              a) hubs   best of luck, Kevin
#52 of 125 4x4 problems by ford4life2 Mar 19, 2008 (8:30 am)
When I put my ranger into 4x4, push button, and take off it makes a growl noise like it is slipping, not locking in all the way. Could mean that my solenoid is bad. Because we jacked up the truck, put it into 4x4 and you can grab the wheel and stop the wheel comepletely.
