SO, I inherited a '93 Ranger (4.0L, 4WD). See this thread : http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=133008
Anyway. Found a whole bunch of receipts so I am getting more of an idea of the shape this thing is in.
One of the recipts is from a few years ago, when the transfer case blew, and was replaced with a new (used) one.
The note on the reciept says, quote,
"Vehicle is in 4wheel drive high. electrical part of 4wd shift mechanism inop."
The truck has manually locking hubs, which are unlocked, but... does anyone have any clues as to what this note might be referring to? And also, what's the danger of driving around in 4WD HIGH all the time, even with the hubs unlocked? Aside from gas mileage and wear and tear?
Sorry for n00b questions. Thanks in advance.
