Hubs won't engage

[specops17]

Somebody please help. When I Press the 4x4 button that is on the dash of the Explorer the light comes on and I can hear the Transfer Case engage. I have also driven the vehicle in 4 wheel drive and have observed that the front drive shaft is turning, but the auto locking hubs will not engage and pull the front tires. I also know that it is not a problem with the transfer case because the vehicle will go into 4 low. Any help on this problem will be greatly appreciated

The auto hubs on 91-94 explorers are crap and is common for them to fail. Your best (and cheapest) bet is to swap to manual hubs. Search the site here for details.

Do a search, you can clean the autos with ATF or switch to manuals.

Switching to manuals is not that much money and you will not have the problem of this bad design of Auto hubs

Ever tear an autohub apart? They were made to wear out.

JUNK

maybe someone greased your hubs? like the man said, cleaning may help, manuals are the way to go. btw, now a 3rd choice on the market "superwinch" hubs
