Hello-I am new to this forum and saw you have a explorer 400-I recently purchased one that was set up for racing-rebuilt engine,clutch modified, piped and jetted-Mine is a 96 model and will peg the 60mph speedo with 2 people on board-one thing i noticed-4wd will only engage in reverse-noted when i had it up on blocks-any ideas? front shafts are turning and it works good in reverse with the override button engaged-i assume that the o.r. is for reverse. Any help would be appreciated-I am good with a wrench

well, to make 4wd work in reverse you must have the 4wd button pushed in and hold the override button also..... but as far as going forward. it should work all the time.... check you wiring from the switch to the front tansfer case....

Also make sure that the override switch isn't ON when you turn on the ignition, as the LCD display will be in diagnostic mode. If you're not prepared for this, it will look like something is wrong. LOL!!
