4x4

I had a ranger and it had a switch to select 4X4. I had an AWD, and it was full time 4 wheel. My new one is a Gen 3, (2002), and I have not driven it yet. I want to know how the 4X4 works. I see the two switches, and I'm wondering if the 4X4 feature turns off, or just switches between...

My 02 Explorer is stuck in 4 lo. I have read a lot on here and am getting a replacement 4x4 control module, but is there anyway I can get my truck back in auto 4 wheel or 2 wheel drive while waiting for my part to arrive?

Hi everyone, Im new to the forum but will be a very active member now that Ive finally gotten my 2007 explorer xlt. Its the dark green V6 with tan leather interior and 3rd row seating. Ill post some pictures later, its completely stock right now. Okay so I have a question, well really 2...

Hello, This is my first post here and I am in need of some extreme help with my 4x4. I have an 1993 XLT with push button 4X4. When i bought it a few months back it worked. Now when I go to use it. Nothing works. No lights come on, no relays click. I have purchased a new control module which...

Hi, I'm Bryan. I have had many Fords and several Explorers including Sports and 4 doors. I currently have a 2010 Limited with a 4.6. It is AWD. Previously on my Eddie Bauer I had the options: auto, 4x4 hi, 4x4 low. I found I had better control in the Eddie Bauer in the snow. My limited...

Hey guys, my front axle won't engage but t-case will lock into low. So I get low 2wd. I have the bwm but have removed it and solder the wires back together Still don't work. All fuses are checked and good. all of the lights on the dash work. it's not the buttons and I don't think it's the...

ok, I replaced the rotors and brakes all the way around 2 months ago. Everything has been fine. Then the snow came and I engaged my 4X4 for the first time. After I disengaged, I got a horrible noise from the front passenger wheel. Got it in my garage and the hub assembly was shot. Replaced that...

I bought this 94 Explorer a few months back. I took the auto hubs off to clean them because they were not engaging since I put them back on it still doesn't work when I was cleaning the hubs up I noticed the female gear in the hub free spins, is this normal operation or is the hubs toast...

Ok, so I really haven't even posted pix, this is a work in progress and today I intend to make some great progress. My 2003 Explorer a few days after I got it was able to wash it Day 1 got the windshield replaced and found out the fuel system was wrong some where, more to come on that later...

Has any one had to replace a 4x4 control module on there truck? If so what signs was your truck showing, my 01 explorer sport won't engage 4x4 and non of the lights lights up

I have a 01 explorer sport that needs the gem replaced for the 4x4 to work. I'm told it has to be put in by ford, but if I find a gem on the same model car, can i just throw that in myself?

I have an 02 Mercury Mountaineer ( 4.0L ), and I started having trouble with wheel hop etc.. Eventually, after disconnecting the front drive shaft, I've have determined the issue to be the viscous coupler. Seems like a hard part to find, and expensive when I do find it. So, this provides with...

How can I tell if 4x4 is engaged, I have a 2001 explorer sport, it has a selector for 2wd, 4x4 hi, and 4x4 lo. Nothing for the 4x4 lights up, and I don't feel any difference when I cycle between 2wd, and 4x4. Also why wouldn't the lights be working?

Need a little help tracking down a problem that I am having with the 4wd on a recently purchased 97 explorer. I took it to a local mechanic but he could not track down the problem. Here is what the symptoms are, when turning in 4wd(low and high) it makes a screeching noise from the front...

1994 FORD EXPLORER XLT: I have replaced the tires and installed new bearings, but I am still getting a "thunk" like I am driving on a flat. It is on the right front wheel. Not sure what to look for?? The 4WD doesn't work. Could that be part of it. U-joint? Axle? This is a project car for...

Hello everyone, I just noticed tonight after I tossed my explorer into 4X4 High that when I turn sharply there is a clunking sound and you can feel it clunking in the cab of the X. (It's a 1998 Explorer). I've never had this problem with it before and it just started tonight, I'm hoping...

I need to replace the radio bezel on my 2000 Ford Explorer. It is AWD and while it does not have the button which switches 4x4 from Auto/High/Low, there is a wiring harness that plugs into an empty slot in the bezel. If I replaced my bezel with one that has this switch, would I be able to...

I'm not looking to go off-roading too often, but I'm wanting to put 235/85/16's(31.7") on the stock rims on my 02 Explorer xlt 4x4. I've read the stickies that say I shouldn't need a lift for 32's, but I've read in other threads that I will. Can anyone clear this up for me?

Hello all, I have perused this site for quite a while and gleaned quite a bit of information from it, so thank you all for that. However, I have run into an issue that I am not able to solve with the threads that already exist on this topic. Here is my situation: A few weeks ago I was driving...

well i don't currently have an explorer, but that is the reason im on the forum. i have decided to get a new trail rig, ive been out of fourwheelin' for 10 years or so. i want an explorer, but i wanted to talk to you guys as far as what would be the best generation of explorer to be a trail rig...

Hello all I am new here on this forum :) I have a Ford Explorer 2004 XLT that will not engage 4x4 low. And yes:), I have followed the correct steps repeatedly: put gear in 'N' pressing the brake and then pressing the 4x4 low button but the yellow ligth just blinks and nothing happens. I...

I'm planning my 4wd conversion for january and so far I think I'm going to start with the transmission and transfer case. I plan on ordering a rebuilt 4wd 5r55e and BW 4405. I was going to go with a manual 1354 at first but unlike most people I actually want control trac. Everything seems simple...

Recently bought a 92 Eddie Bauer and a 94 Limited. Both automatics with elec-4x4s. Pulled the engine of the Eddie and tore it down to rebuild and put into my 92 XLT. My friends and I have been deburring and porting the heads and block. Also honed the cylinders and are currently working on...

Ok, I've read through many threads on my problems. It seems like it might be a separate issue. First, the OD light flashing. I read and came to the conclusion it was the solenoid pack. I replaced that. It shifts much smoother, but the OD light is still flashing! I cleared all the...

Hi everyone. I just bought a 96 v8 awd explorer for 1800. Well my issue is that the guy i got it from removed the front and made it 2wd. It still has the transfer case on it but thats it. I want to make it awd or 4x4. Would it be easier to do a sas or search for a front end to put in it. I...

In my 4x4 XLT I noticed that without touching any button the 4x4 starts automatically when stucking in sand. Does it means that the 4x4 module is only to activate the Low 4x4? Urgent please!!!!

ok so about a week ago i was driving down the street. stopped at a stop sign and my car would not move. it tries to move but then does not. had transfer case rebuilt about 2 years ago. was doing some reading on the electronic transmissions for explorers and read something about a "cripple/limp"...

Well I was on my way down the highway, when suddenly the front right wheel locked up and stopped turning (thankfully I'm in Alaska so I just kinda slid off the road) so I got out and locked the hub in(for 4x4) and it still happened, just not as bad, any ideas on what it could be?

My 2001 Ford Explorer is experiencing a myriad of problems at 167000 miles. I recently replaced the water pump and the truck did overheat. Problem 1: Oil pressure sticks The gauge indicating oil pressure does not lift at all when you start the engine after a couple hours of sitting. The...

I'm looking to convert my 2WD OHV to 4WD, yeah I know how much easier it is to just buy a 4x4 X instead of going through this process but I really love my truck and I have the money right now to do this. As far as I know I'll need a transfer case, front and rear drive shafts, front diff to match...

Greetings Looking for some direction here on my little 94 Explorer. We had some ice the other day so I figured I would give my 4x4 a test. I found 4w high doesn't engage. The light comes on but when I hit the gas only the back tires spin. If I go into N and push the magic 4low button. It...

Greetings, I've done a search here and while there is a lot of info on this subject, I haven't seen anything conclusive. There seems to be a lot of disagreement as to how the AWD actually functions. Would any of you knowledgable folks help me understand how the AWD in my 2008 4.6L Explorer...

I have a 1992 Ford Explorer 4x4 and last night I smelled this burning odor, it stopped maybe five minutes after I parked. Later that night my truck gave out while I was reversing, I pushed it back into the driveway, put some oil in it and it worked. Once I turned the engine on.. the truck would...
