Exactly. You can not use two different gears. One end is fighting the other and the 4x4 transfer unit is in the middle. You will be picking up shavings and parts very soon. Do not use 4x4 until they match.

This is a well know problem with a ford. I am dealing with this problem now. It is either the keyed ignition or the starting module located in the steering column.. If you look under the key ignition, there will be a small hole under it. Play with it until you get it to turn to the on position and place a nail or a small round file in the hole and press up and the keyed ignition will come straight out. If this is not the problem then it will be the starting module in the steering column and is a huge headache due to having to take the entire steering column out to fix. I am taking mine to get fixed in the morning and it is going to cost me about 250.00 to get fixed.

THE BRAKE CLUTCH PEDAL BRACKET WILL SOMETIMES LOSTEN UP BECAUSE ITS BENT OR WORE OUT BUSHINGS.LOOK UNDER STEERING WHEEL FOR SLACK OR SLOPPY PIVOT POINTS!!

Ensure you have "ALL" the wires connected and a fully charged battery. Then use your remote to turn off the anti theft devises and your truck should start with no problems. You may have to switch the anti theft device from your old engine to your new one or take the vin of the new engine to the dealer and get the code for that engine.

You DID clear the codes after the repair, I assume. Otherwise the code will still be there. The cheaper code readers do not provide for a reset of the codes. The scan tools do.

Check bulbs and fuse first than test your brake light switch .usually the vehicle cant be taken out of gear if fuse or switch are bad. The best way of testing would be with a 12 volt test light. The light can be bought at any auto parts store under $20.00. Hook one end of light to ground (metal unpainted on truck) touch the other end on fuse touch metal connection on both sides of fuse (one side at a time )with key on . Test light should light . if it only lights on one side the fuse is blown and will need to be replaced. If all is good remove tail light bulbs. have someone sit in truck with key turned to on. Ground the test light and touch the point of test light to conection in bulb recepticle on truck it should light on one side when brakes are pushed .there are 2 metal connections in resepticle the other one is running lights. test with lights on. one should light up for sure. if the test light lights with both all is good bulbs are for sure bad. if this was helpful please leave good feed back

Have you confirmed these are not functioning, or is it possible that the are not receiving the signal to operate from a faulty signal switch? also have all fuses and relays been checked? espcially the relays in the fuse center under the hood?

u might have to

Aw, you can do it, Steve. Think of all the fun you will have getting dirty.It will be a crank bolt, not a nut. I don't know about this special ford tool, but better check it out before you start, to see if you can do without it or will have to rent or borrow. Talk to a ford garage mechanic first, they can tell you if you need the special tool or not.Before you even start, put the #1 cylinder at TDC of the compression stroke. You will need a socket and wrench on the crankshaft pulley bolt. Pull out the number 1 spark plug, put your finger over the hole, and turn the crank clockwise-normal rotation. Turn it until you feel a little pressure on your finger- that is the piston rising on it's compression stroke...oops, your belt is broke, just remembered that, this won't work...So, turn the crank around until the pulley notch is lined up with the zero mark on the pointer scale- now you at TDC. Forget about pulling number one plug, that's a moot issue now. With notch at zero degrees, that is your TDC of compression stroke. If it turns during working, just set it back at zero degrees.The compressor, the PS pump and the brackets- not real easy, but pretty straight forward. Don't disconnect PS or AC lines, just move the stuff to the sideFree advice from a shade tree guy- not worth much, eh? But good luck, Steve. You must have a repair manual to know all the stuff to be removed-best thing in your tool box. I'm amazed at what people try to do to their rides without consulting a repair manual.

follow this steps and fix it. God bless you Turn the vehicle on. The engine does not need to be running but the ignition should be on to power the stereo.
