How does the 4WD system work on a Ford Ranger?
When the Ranger is in 4WD, the transfer case splits the power between the front and rear axles. The front axle uses a locking hub (1983-2000) to lock (connect) the front wheels to the axleshafts. If these hubs are not locked, the wheel will not receive power from the axle. Note: the 2001-2011 4WD Ford Ranger has a live front axle.
