rlh i can't believe you still think that your lights flashing have anything to do with your hubs. you told me to go back and look at your first post in this topic, as i have, and you say the lights flash when the HUBS fail to auto-engage. then you talk about having to get out to look at hubs because of lights flashing or what not. you don't understand any of the hubs (automatic or manual) have nothing to do with any of the electronics, or transfercase shift. i can shift transfer case into any position i want with hubs locked or unlocked, it doesn't know the difference.

ignorance is bliss?

 

What the hell are you talking about? The last several posts are discussing converting from an electric 1356 to manual!!! Why did you go dig up this old post for? The post you are referring to is over 2 months old. Been in a coma?

Besides, my auto hubs are working on my Bronco. The ones on the F250 were replaced under warrany twice and finally manuals put in. Both times the light was flashing, and no I don't no why and neither did the dealer but the auto hubs were trashed and thats all that was wrong. It has a manual tcase and HAD auto hubs. In other words my F250 came with manual tcase and autohubs and my Bronco came with electric tcase and autohubs.

There has been more than one type of auto hub used though.

Since, Marquis thinks your an electric tcase genius, go answer his question up above instead of busting my chops.

 

doesn't matter how old some of your posts were, you were talking very ignorantly, when more than one of us was trying to tell you how things really are. open your ears (or eyes in this case), and listen, and then think about how something like your auto-hubs could make your t-case shifting different in any way, shape, or form.

before arguing with an engineer, think about how we actually like to argue.

 

hey marquis, i would take it back to the dealer if they just replaced the motor and it's now doing that. something certainly isn't right. don't know what else to tell ya at this point.

 

I didn't say the hubs made it shift in a different way. There are relays etc. between the switches and tcase motor. Its not always the motor. If you will look up the repair sheets for Ford sevice centers you will find that the autohubs were notorious in the 97s for trying to engage on their own. If the driver was unaware of this and shifted into 4wheel drive, it caused serious problems and the damn light would flash if you were shifting into 4wheel low. It happened to my F250 twice, but it has manual tcase. It turns out that the occasional problem on the bronco was a sticky relay.

As far as the you being an engineer . . . unless you are a 4x4 mechanical engineer big whoopie. Everybody I normally interact with on a day to day basis is either an electrical, electronic, civil, mechanical, or chemical engineer, or chemist, botanist, physicist, statistician etc.

While I'm ignorant of the finer details of the electric shift 1356, I would be more embarassed to get on here acting like the 1356 mechanical engineer messiah and leave out the darn relays etc.

Bronco351 gave the best response of all others combined.

The last several posts had to do with replacing an electric 1356 with a manual 1356. The light stuff was from 2 months ago and I can't go back and edit them so kiss my **** if you want to go back and dig up posts that are over 2 months old and throw insults.
