Hi,

I have had the same problem. I have fixed it on my 94 by taking the hubs out cleaning them completely then letting them soak in a mix of Lukus oil treatment, syn gear oil and anti-cease. When I reinstall them I make sure that they are installed "wet" and that there is about a tablespoon of the mix in the cover of the hub. I try to do this in the spring and the fall while I check the brakes and repack the barrings. My wife’s 91EB did the exact same thing you describe last weekend. I need to get that one apart and clean it up. As soon as I started the 2x a year servicing of the front hubs on my 94xlt I have had no problems with the 4WD. My wife’s 91EB, that I got last spring, has not had the same treatment. I have not had a chance to get at the hubs. (I was told they were new from ford dealer and was given a receipt so I did not worry about it) Guess I should have been a bit more attentive.

One other thing of note. Have you used the 4wd at all before this recently? I used to have a hell of a time with the 4wd on my 94 if I let it sit all summer and then tried to use it during the first snow. If your exp has not had the hubs serviced and has not been used for a while (all summer) engagement and disengagement can be sticky. I attribute this to old cold grease that is hard as a rock and the hubs being dry of lubricant making the auto hubs stick. I used to make a habit of engaging it once a week and driving a little bit but being careful to keep it slow and no tight turns especially when I am on asphalt. This is partly why I now service the hubs 2x a year and why I use the mix I do to lube the hubs. With the extra care and attention to the hubs I have no trouble with the 4WD for the last three years. Now I just wish I could have this same luck with my transmissions

Good Luck
