My trucks four wheel drive is being a pain!
I’ll pull the lever and put it in 4x4, the light on my dash says it’s in four. But it isn’t! Than suddenly it will be in four. Than I’ll shut the truck off because I got to school or back home and when I go back out a bit later it will do the same thing.

Put lever in 4x4
4x4 lights up on dash.
Back up and it’s not in four. So I pull forward a bit.
still not in four. So I drive some. And suddenly it’s in four wheel drive.
But than it disengages somehow on and off.

It’s an 03 F150 shot box regular cab 4x4 with 4.2L V-6 and a 5-speed manual.

 

The truck is old. BUT! It’s only got 49,500 kilometers on the odometer. It’s basically sat in a garage all it’s life and the original owner only used it in the summers when he came from Hawaii. He’s 92! So it’s got 49,500 easy, putting around kilometers.

 

Nice Truck!

Check this site out. It has Owner's Manuals that may help?

I think the auto hubs disengages when you change directions until there are several revolutions of the wheel in the desired direction? I haven't seen snow for about 10 years, so I don't remember...

 

okay thank you very much for the link! 🎁🎊

 

That's an awesome truck! It's like a time capsule!

Not too many of them dual sticks... gosh I wish I had one like that in that condition.

Good luck with that truck!

 

thanks! I got seriously lucky with this truck.
I did the math and it’s like 35,000 miles 😂😂
