It was < 20 degress when he had the trouble, and 4x4 is rarely used on this truck. Hoping that is it. Just wondering how much of a chore it is to remove the hubs (automatic) so they can be cleaned / lubed.
The 91-94 Explorers have weak springs in the auto hubs. Gear lube ain't enough to keep them lubed, you should use grease. Just don't go overboard with it. I swapped Milemarker manual hubs into mine and they worked great. Worth the $135.00 usc I spent.
