I just bought an Explorer with 200,000 miles on it for $1000 and have been bringing it up to speck. I've rebuilt the engine and fixed all the squeaks with lots of rubber reconditioner Replaced all the fluids and cleaned all the pans. New brakes and tires and front left ball joint were replaced.
I find that the front wheels will not engage although the front drive shaft turns. There is fluid in the diffs. Is there something in the hubs that may not be working? This is my first 4x4... Billy
