98 Ford, only goes into 4 wheel sometimes
Hey, just picked up a 98 ford f 150 4 X 4. We drove it and couldn't tell if the 4 X 4 was working. Put it up on jack stands, and when you switch it over, sometimes it works, others you can hear it laboring, but not engaging. Not quite a grind but close. And ideas?
Thanks Neil

Re: 98 Ford, only goes into 4 wheel sometimes
I think the front axle itself has an electric disconnect. If it is not working, the transfer case output can't power the front wheels because the differential won't let it....

One up that one...
It is also vacuum activated, not electronic, so the accuator itself may not be bad, check for vacuum leaks.
