Need Help!!!!!
Okay, so my truck won't stay in 4wd. It will engage for a second then come back out. The light doesn't go out and there is no real noise. It is NOT the transfer case, hubs, axles, or 4wd switch. All of those are new and it was doing it before I replaced them and after. Can someone please tell me what to replace next? It is a 99 ext cab, 4.0 manual. And does this in low and high.

I got the factory ones because I bought a warranty with my truck and they replaced it all for free. And yes im sure the wheels aren't turning, 100%. It is definitely kicking back into 2wd. The vacuum leak is something I need to check. What about the module behind the radio? How would I check that? Also, I know its not the shifter on the tcase because it will go into 4 lo, like the gear ratio will change, it just won't engage the front wheels.

As far as I know the 4wd system has its own computer and it sits on the passenger side kick panel. Well on my 2003 that's how it is.
Does the case actually shift into low range? If so then the case and computer are fine. The vacuum system is the same that operates the vents and there is a vacuum ball on the passenger side of the engine bay on top of the wheel well.

I had the same problems, bought new hubs, still same problem.
I found this link and permanently fixed the problem.

Some people say it kills gas mileage, but the 01+ Rangers are all like this, but at least I know my hubs will always work.

^^ did that to mine, couldnt really tell a difference in terms of gas mileage.
Check your vacuum lines. Run your hands along all of them, if any of them deteriorate and bits come off in your fingers, replace them. Also you can check all of the connections to see if there are any cracks, or if one of them came off.

Like I said earlier, I have no doubt that my hubs will always work.
I literally takes 5 minutes per side to do, it's free, and you won't ever have to worry about them again.
Good luck.
Brian.
