I hate my ESOF
So i figured out why my ESOF did'nt work. The plug to the solenoid was loose. I plugged it in tight and the vacuum pump started running non stop even with the 4x4 switched off, additonally I lost My AC, Im just plain frustrated. I fixed all my vacuum leaks found my bad electrical connection anfd yet still problems. Oh yeah it ran my batteries dead overnight. What the heck is up. I grabbed some relays I uess Ill try them next.

Glad I have the manual shift lever, except for that time that I cheese grated the skin off the back of my hand with it jamming between the handle and the back of the salt spreader controller...

I love my ESOF.
I still haven't experienced any problems with it at 248,000 miles, but I use it almost every day and I assume that's what keeps it working.

Yeah clux that definatly would hurt!
Mine screwed up once, and I fixed it by spraying wd 40 everywhere haha.
So far mine hasnt broke down on me, besides a few glitches now and again.
When i was under my truck today, i seen there is a hole in the body that can be punched out, and im pretty sure its for a 4x4 stick.

after you get the leak fixed, consider going to Warn Premium hubs ($300) they are old school get out and lock the hubs when you want 4x4, but you will still have to turn the ESOF switch to engage the xfer case.

With a lot of folks help reading posts and guzzles page, I've determined my Auto Hubs are toast, I've wrote down an etensive list of ford P/N's and will start calling around pricing seals/O-rings, bearings/studs, etc. Monday. But with the extensive list of parts and the amount of rust I am wondering if it would'nt be just as cheap to buy Warns. Here's what i'm wondering, would the Warns include new or replacement needle bearings? Also is there a link or thread on Warn hubs install with good pics and step by step.
