I just bought my 94 ranger a couple of months ago and the transfer case shift motor would'nt work, I finally fixed that tonite and went to try the 4wd out and while trying to climb a muddy hill, the front wheels were not spinning. It would go into 4 lo but the front wheels would still not spin, I almost got stuck lol. Anyways I don't have the money for a manual conversion right now, does anyone know where I can find a tech article to repair them or even make it where they are locked in all the time. I've never worked on any 4wd components before I got this truck, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Billy

 

you could try spraying the insides real good with wd-40. i swapped mine out for milemarker manual hubs 2 years ago. mine would sometimes lock, and sometimes only 1 would unlock. having "iffy" hubs is never a good thing. i wish they made drive flanges, there is a way you can dissassemble the auto hubs and weld something together to make your auto hubs permantly locked. not sure where i saw it, maybe at therangerstation.com i leave my manual hubs locked in most of the winter inless im going on a long trip and the roads are clear.

 

Do you have the vacuum hubs? I know these can be problematic. Here is a good source for tech articles. I know they talk about 98-00 rangers, Im not sure if your 94 is the same.

 

Well on your 1994 Warn manual hubs with the nut kit is your first step. next is clean the shift motor on the t-case
