how to test...
i have a friend who just recently bought a ford ranger (i told him to get a toyota) and it has that stupid vaccum 4 wheel drive shifter where all you do is turn a knob. well he isn't sure if he is locking into four wheel drive. what is the best and easiest way for him to test that? and me not have to go help him.

Well there is the park on the street and go into 4wd and drive it. If the steering fights back while trying to turn a moderate corner, the front's locking the hubs. Just don't drive it very far that way.

Get on some gravel or dirt and see if the front tires spit rocks or dirt when he floors it. If he's still in 2wd only the rear will throw rocks. I would say to do the same thing in snow but I'm guessing you don't have snow right now lol.
