Explorer with a 4x4 problem

[anders713]

First of all i am from Denmark, therefore my bad english

I have a Explorer 4,0 XLT 4x4 with a problem. When the 4x4 activates something is in the transmission "jumping" or so, and its make a lot of noice, and the frontwheel is not spinning correct. Hope someone can understand what I mean, otherwise please ask for some more informations.

Welcome to the forum! I'm assuming that you are only using the 4x4 in the snow, mud, or off road right? It will make all kinds on thumps and "jumping" feelings on dry pavement. Just checking. Please explain what you are doing when you are trying to use the 4x4.

It´s not the tires or somthing witch make the "jumping" (don´t know the right english word for it) it is jumping somewhere in the transmission. It´s only when the frontwheels is activated. Mabye it could be something in the gearbox. When the noice and the "jumping " come, the frontwheel does not turn.

anders713 -- as Rottie stated, the vehicle should not be engaged into 4HI or 4LO on dry pavement.

If you're doing this on dirt and the front wheels are not moving, then have someone else check to see if the front driveshaft is spinning while in 4HI. That will tell you if the problem is in the Transfer Case or in the front axle/differential.
