4x4 Issue?

Post by CVCS »

Alright, When I Put My Bronco Into 4x4, The Front Wheels Start Feeling Weird. Every Time I Give It Gas, It Feels Like It Slips, Than Grabs And Drives Normal. <-- From A Stop & Go. Also, I Hear A Noise When I Have It On 4x4. Coming From The Front. Sounds Like A Ticking Noise.

Anyone Might Know The Problem?

I Think The Reason Was Because I Didn't Lock The Hubs.
When We Went Off Roading With Some Buddy's, One Of My Friends Said To Put It In 4x4 And He Locked The Hubs. It Was Not Slipping Anymore, And That Ticking Noise Wasn't There Anymore.
It Was Performing Well.

that was the problem you couldn't figure out how to turn the hubs in. good thing you had a friend to tell you, unless you would have replaced the whole front end and still have the same problem.
