4wd

I have an automatic 4WD in my 98 ranger. Whenever I switch into 4Wd the truck goes into neutral on all wheels. It doesnt matter what gear the transmission is in or what speed im going. Any help diagnosing the problem?

Okay so I have heard if I want more power and decent mpg I should swap to a 4 cylinder turbo. Yes I know power and mpg don't go to hand and hand but I'm looking for more power in my 84 which has a 2.8 l v6. I use this truck as my commuter and it needs more get up and go. I don't know which is a...

This is going to be my build thread for my 91 Ranger "Bumble". The name came about because the suspension was so worn out when I bought it that it bounced off-road. And from the Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer Christmas special, we all know that "Bumbles Bounce!" I have owned it for just over 2...

I've been doing some research into doing a 4wd LT upgrade from Dixon bros/Vegas desert fab and I pretty much know what I need to do for the front, but I still am a little confused about the rear. Is there such a kit where I don't have to cut the bed? such as just upgrading the leafs and shocks...

Bought a 01 ranger 4x4 with a 4.0 and auto trans. Read several posts in these forums on the control module issue. I have 4wd no lights, no clicking in the cab. Bought a used unit from a salvage yard, plugged it in and blew the brake switch fuse. My fault I didn't know to disconnect the negative...

I have FM146 transmission in my 92 Ford Ranger 4wd. I just want to know what brand would be best for this transmission? Would I need any special tools? Are there any repair manuals or guides for this transmission? How long will it take?

Okay guys, I have been tinkering around on my 4X4 trying to figure out what it will take to fix it. The CM self diagnosed itself OK, but any time I touch the button on the dash I don't hear anything from the transfer case or shift motor. Is it possible that it's just the shift motor? And not a...

This is for all you out there that have had weird noises when only in 4wd which can be described in many different ways. I was experiencing sone clanking,grinding and just plain unawesome sounds when in 4wd, only when the transfer case was engaged. I have manual hubs and an auto 1354 transfer...

I hope someone can help me. I have a 1992 Ranger 2WD 2.3L 4cyl and I believe it has a Dana 35 axle (pinch bolt). I am in the middle of replacing nearly everything on my front suspension (bushings, leveling springs, shocks, ball joints, tie rods, rotors, calipers, brake pads). I ordered new ball...
