Front Tires Lockup in Reverse
So i just bought a 99 ford ranger 4x4 with a 4.0 and manual
Im new to trucks and 4x4 so im not too sure on what is going on...Well what happens is when i try to go backward whether it be in gear or in nuetral my front tires will lock up on me...they get a little turn then they lock up...i can go forwards with no problem but right when i go backwards...its all lock...if i force it they just slide...i know thats probably not the smartest thing to do but i was pissed...So what can it be...i did a little searching here and i see that the 99's have shitty automatic hubs could it be the hubs messing up...im a totally newb to trucks so any help or suggestions would be great...Thanks

i would say it's the hubs. do you have the auto lockers that you have to back up to get them to disengauge? on my 2000, they are vacume controlled.

Re: Front Tires Lockup in Reverse
they might be...cause when i bought the truck the kid took me driving in it and after we had it in 4x4 he backed up like 20 or so feet...if its the hubs how do i go abouts puting manual locking hubs on the truck i saw them for sale for 93-97 but i didnt see nothing for the 99's...Is there a good place where i can go to find some good info on rangers...
