99 Ranger Auto Hubs

[cobracars]

Found a temp solution for my hubs. Did all the testing and definatly have a leak somewhere in each hub. So I pulled the hubs off and used a screwdriver and pushed the center down on the inside. This locked the hub in. I disconnected the vacuum lines so they could not disengage on there own. I cant unlock them with out pulling them off but at least I have 4 wheel drive now.

Doing this will allow you to lock and unlock the hub with your finger. Its also a good back up if you get the vacuum system corrected.

Do you know if the leak is in your hub, or in the connection at/to the knuckle?

Do what he said and forget about it, I ran mine like that untill I sold it and never had any issues.

Whats all in that? I might be interedted if hes not. I have a vacuum leak somewhere between the hose barb and the hub; and I am leaning towards the hubs, even with new o-rings.
