4x4 problem

Hello im justin and no i don't have a taco
just dont have the money for one now.
my friend uses this site and i noticed it had a lot of useful people on this site
so thought i would see if anyone could help me with a problem

i recently bought a 98 ford ranger 4x4
and i noticed that i was having a problem with my 4x4 not working properly
i looked up online to see if others had 4x4 problems on their rangers
and i found out that 98-00 was not to good with ranger 4x4s

so the thing is i can feel it going in 4x4 (transfer case i think) working fine
but its something with the vacuum line/hub

anyone know if this would fix my problem?
if not, what would?

think for any helpful tips

 

Make sure that you can get the truck into low range. if it goes into low range the t-case is good, and it seems like those hubs would probably be a good solution. please take this with a grain of salt, as i am no where near an expert. I'm sure someone else will have some light to spread on it

 

ya im pretty sure the t-case is fine, just the vacuum line or something is bad
and just doesnt want to put it in 4x4

so im guess (wanting someone to confirm this ) that those manual hubs would fix my problem and ill just have to manual put in 4x4 ( what would not be to much of a problem for me as long as my 4x4 works ) and i could still put in 2wd

i dont wanna lock my hubs or w/e to be 4x4 all the time

 

Get a Taco... Our son has a 4x4 Ranger, and the 4WD doesn't work on his, either... ADD issues, I think???
