Best Answer

it is a vacuum line system. the most common problem is that one of the lines is leaking or broken loose. you need a hoist to get under there and find the sending unit located usually on the upper side of the transfer case. replacing the lines themselves usually requires some dexterity. i take mine to an "old timer" mechanic --- he is in his 80's and really knows vacuum drive systems. try Etter's Garage in Bracewell, Colorado (Between the cities of Greeley and Windsor).

How do you engage the 4 wheel drive on a Ford Ranger?

It depends. Llook at the hubs on your front wheels. Is there a knob in the center of the wheels? If so, then turn this knob to the right and you will have engaged the 4 wheel drive. If you do this; however, make sure you engage the 4 wheel drive inside the truck (if your truck has a 4 wheel drive gear shifter). On other Rangers, you have a knob on the inside of the cab. It should be somewhere on the dash. You can turn it to the right and this will engage the 4 wheel drive. Finally, when you engage the 4WD make sure the engine is cut off, so it doesn't mess up your transfer case.

4 wheel drive won't engage on 1998 Ford Ranger?

Hello, I too have a 1998 Ford Ranger that the 4 wheel drive does not engage. I have been doing some research online and have found one main reason for this. Since our Fords are shift on the fly 4 wheel drive the hubs automatically engage for us when we switch that little nob. Well after 100,000 miles of doing this the automatic hubs wear down and the 4 wheel drive is unable to engage. I have done some research and those automatic hubs are about $200 each. But you can get the manual locking ones for about $75 each. If you get the $75 ones you will have to manually lock your hubs when using 4 wheel drive, but they will not wear out like the automatic ones do and they are cheaper.
