Alright well i just bot a 93 ford ranger 4x4 but the 4x4 isent working, the guy i bought the truck from says its because the front tires are 36's n the back tires are 35's, which i know is not good to have if you wanna use the 4x4 but will it stop the t-case from locking into 4x4??

4wd should still work if the tires were different by an inch

thats wat i was thinkin but when i push the 4x4 button i get nothing, i even took apart the button an i seem to be gettin power everywhere it needs to, but i need a wiring diagram of the 4x4 wiring, anyone know where i could find one??

Find the 4x4 control unit (in an '01 its behind the PS kick panel) and unplug it, then re-plug it in. That fixed mine.

wat does it look like, an i gotta ECM lookin box sittin right behind my driver seat and it looks like the wires goin to my T-case come from the but i havent traced the wires that far yet

meh, cant hurt to try it. Just be careful, and make sure there are no clips when you pull it off... If there are, CAREFULLY!!!!!!!!! pry them back... Anything that has a clip on my truck is broken cause I accidentally pull too hard on the clips. (oops...)

i took the connectors off and blew the whole thing out with air and idk if it was there before or not but now when i push the 4x4 button i get a click from the module and if i hold the button i get a second click 2-5 seconds after the first click so i assume the module is working. o and i know the tires have to make a full rotation to lock up the hubs but will it not show the 4x4 light on the dash until the tires make a full rotation?

That I dont know. I have a Live axle, so I dont have to deal with the auto hubs. I would try it and see what happens. But if the vacuum's on the auto hubs are good, then that *should* have fixed it.

Take it for a spin down the block, and try to make a somewhat tight turn. if it binds, then you know the 4x4 is engaged. If one wheel or neither binds, the one thats not binding has a bad hub.

A bad hub is best replaced by manual hubs.

My hubs arent vaccum operated they lock up with the torque from the front axle

either way, Driving and taking a tight-ish turn to check for binding will tell you if the 4x4 is engaged.

ok il try that but i have a bad feelin that the lil motor in the back of the t-case to shift into 4x4 has seized

is it making a constant clicking noise, or is it just one? cause mine clicks, then clicks again when it goes into 4LO (i have a turn knob as opposed to the push button... same concept tho)
