94 ranger, 4.0L, 4x4, 5 spd, manual locking hubs
Winter is here in michigan and want to make sure my 4x4 is up to the task. Ive had issues with the front bearings and lock nuts and while i have the two lock nuts and locking ring, I am missing the toothed spacer that fits on the axle and possibly the clip that goes on the end of the axle. Not sure if this is needed or how the locking hub works to engage the front wheels.
- How do the front manual hubs work?
- I have push button for 4 high and 4 low how does this work?
- Im assuming I engage the button when Im in neutral?
- what if I have the button pressed for either and my hubs aren't locked?
- what if I drive without the buttons pressed and the hubs locked?
- I have a short 8" curved tube coming from my front diff - is this just to atmosphere or where does it connect.
- Anything I should check before using the 4x4?
