Exclamation 4 Wheel Drive Wont Work

I have a 2004 Ford F-250 Superduty 6.0 Diesel. I went to go pull my friend out of a mud hole the other day and I almost ot my self stuck. Come to find out my 4 wheel drive wouldnt engage. I put the truck into nutral and turned it to 4x4 low and high and neither one of them engaged. I then tried to turn the hubs to manual and still nothing. Any help with this would be beyond appreciated considering I bought a truck that is a 4x4 but it wont work.

is your transfer case engaging? or is your a/c or heat defaulting to the defrost vents when you turn the switch?

I found out whats wrong. I dont have any spider gears in my front axle. Either the dealership or the guy who owned it first took them out when he messed them up or something.

that's unfortunate, how much will that run you? are you going to do it yourself?

I've had the same problem with our '06 Ranger 4X4. It will sometimes go into 4WD but won't come out and vise versa. It's maddening, for sure.

Our 09 F-250 4X4 doesn't ever have that problem since it has the manual in/out 4X4 stick on the floor. Sometimes newer/fancier just ain't better.

Come over here for the diesel questions >>6.0L Power Stroke Diesel - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
on the 4X4
Could be a broken wire to the motor or a bad
motor. Check out the wires first. have a helper while
checking to see if you have power at the transfer case.
It helps to know what wire does what.Next you will be
dealing with the motor on the transfer case.

KenRebF-250 I would be looking at wires and the switch
also make sure the plug is in and snug on the transfer case.
Also check the plug for corrosion and put some dielectric
grease in there.
