The 1998, 1999 and 2000 4X4 Ford Ranger with the failure prone PVH/Pulse Vacuum Hubs can be easily converted to a true manual locking hub by installing the Rugged Ridge 15001.70 lockouts found here: http://store.4wheelingplus.com/proddetail.asp?prod=15001.70
In most cases just buying a new set of hubs. The automatic hubs are spring loaded and have an internal locking mechanism that works with the axle as to manual which just locks on to the axle when you turn the dial . Very easy swap just make sure the manual hubs are for your vehicle .
