Ummm i remember seeing it somewhere in my research. I googled our 4x4 problems when i was having them and found it somewhere i just cant remember now. I would look at the cable run front diff if your interested in the link i can send it to you or are you wanting it working but factory?

 

any help tks. have 2003 the 4x4 hi light comes on but not 4 lo when in hi it works some time. ford said it was bad motor on trans. changed it nothing, then i changed both air/elect. valves still nothing

 

It goes in to four wheel drive, like the light comes on and the front drive shaft spins but my axle doesn't lock in, the front tires dont spin. The light just for some reason doesn't turn off unless i turn the truck off and let it sit for like ten minutes then restart it, i havent checked to see if the light just stays on or if the drive shaft still spins, just thought about that while typing but will check tomorrow. Thanks for the help

 

ok got a question my truck does not have a transfer case motor but got one and had it put on truck went into 4wd but would not come out the motor was taken back off and the truck was manualy put back in 2wd and ideas of whats wrong?

 

That happen to mine a few days ago I found out the hard way I was on the beach I started spinning just the rear so I climbed under and pushed the the actuator to lock the hubs and put a wire tie on it till I got home I still need to fix mine

Just wanted to put that up so if any one finds something like that happen they know how to get out

 

When you had the motor off did you try moving the little triangular pin on the back of your transfercase motor into 4hi and 4 lo cause that would tell you if the motor is bad or something inside the transfer case. Never replace the motor unless you know thats the problem. Most times the motor can be fixed with a few taps of a hammer. Does it slip out of 4hi or just doesnt go in sometimes?

 

No problem let me know how u make out, happy wrenchin!

 

Good stuff! Redneck ideas in a pinch lol gotta love the megivers of this world they guess us out of tight situations.

 

Alot better then paying 350 to be pulled out

 

Yup thats for sure.
