I have a 1999 Ford Ranger and need to tow it to Mt. Home Ar. to go fishing. It is 4 wd with auto hubs in frt. Can I remove the drive shaft from rear and tow this vehicle 4 wheels down.
You could damage the front drive if you can't put the transfer case in neutral. If you must take the truck, you could rent a tow dolly and then remove the driveshaft. Rather than actually remove it, disconnect at the rear end (marking the position) wrap the u-joints with tape and then securely strap it up out of the way. If you don't you'll have trans fluid run out the tail of the trans when you remove the shaft.
