    Engaged 4WD without front propeller shaft installed.

    I removed the propeller shaft out of my 2001 Sport Trac trying to narrow down a vibration. Anyways, not knowing there is an issue with doing this, I engaged 4WD.

    Transfer Case Leaking

    I just changed the filter and fluid in the transmission and noticed the transfer case is leaking. It looks like it's leaking from the bottom of the transfer case where it looks like there is a gasket. The only thing they sell at Autozone is the Output seal - which seems to be okay. I found a...

    I've got a bad VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) on my 1996 4.0 with an M5R1 5-Speed but the only info I can seem to find is the VSS for the automatic which, I'm under the impression, is mounted on the transmission tail shaft. On mine the VSS is mounted on the transfer case just above the Transfer Case...
