Yesterday it happened twice, and not again since. I put the truck in drive, and the four wheel drive and four wheel drive low lights flashed simultaneously, and something with the trans "just didnt feel right". Its a '96 Explorer, 6 cyl 4.0... Can anyone give me a starting point? 273k miles on original trans, I'm afraid to look at the thing the wrong way.. TIA
 






273 on teh OEM trans? you need to consider yourself lucky :thumbsup: But there may be some life left in that beast, the 4x4 lights are signaling a problem with the transfer case, tranny codes will flash the overdrive light.
 






i consider myself very lucky.. thanks for the 411 on the codes.. transfer case a hard problem to deal with? I dont know much about car transmissions.. I'm a motorcycle mechanic..
 






nah, there are some really good threads on dealing with TC issues. Check out the stickies in the TC section HERE . Which type of 4wd system do you have? (IE.. year, engine, what does you 4wd knob say)

Hey, there's nothing wrong with motorcycle mechanics, that's how I got my start, and all the same rules apply :thumbsup:
