4x4 problem
i was playing in the sand hills and when i went to put it iin 2wd it made a continus click sound(like it does when you shidft form 2wd to 4wd) but it did it like 5 times. Now when i drive my 4h and 4lo light blink, and the truck will not go into 4x4. I have an electric shift (the one with the **** next to the radio). Any ideas what hte problem is, or how much $$$ to fix it?it is a 1999 ford ranger.
Thanks

97 and 99 are mucho different.
Also, we 99'ers have REALLY CRAPPY FRONT HUBS. They do go out, and ford will replace them with newer hubs. Just to let you know, Pulse Vacuum Hubs suck.

Here's a tech guide for tcase trouble shooting, kinda short but there's more on site.

99 hub swap.

this is how you would "manualize" the pre 98s. http://www.therangerstation.com/Maga...r2002/hubs.htm

I would start by checking the shift motor and go from there. Heres a teardown guide.

+1. Mine did the same thing. I tore apart the shift motor and douched out the grime. Works like a charm now!
As for manual hubs on a 99....well they do have them in the USA now...they are made by AVM of Brazil.

ok, i finally saved up some money and took it to the dealer..they said it was the electronic shift motor and that it needs to be replaced....but is it $700 for parts and labor, does that sound right, i ma not sure how much a shift motor is supposed to call, i just got a voicemail, i have to call back in the morning and i was just wondering if i should go for it or if anyone thinks that is a little pricy
