Transfer case years interchange

[bowturkey]

I have a 2000 ranger 3.0 with automatic tranny the transfer case works most of the time but when I am plowing the transfer case at times will jump out like it's not fully ingauged to start with (It locks back in when I back up). I don't want to keep doing this and ruin the transfer case. I can get another one but they must have made some changes over the years ( newer or older)? What if anything do I need to know or might have to be changed such as wiring or what ever?

^^ x2. but for plowing purposes, i'd recommend switching to a manual transfer case. and manual hubs as well. fewer problems... imho.

Does your truck have the auto locking hubs? Might just be those are bad
