So bought a $800 4x4 to haul my $1500 quad to the hill climbs. I decided to name her Blaze (the old red mare.) Began having second thoughts on the drive home from Coopersville as she was wandering all over the road, the heater wasn't working, every light on the dashboard was on & when I rolled the drivers window down to chat with my love it wouldn't go back up on its own.
She seems to be the best $800 I've spent in a while.
So far she's gotten a new brake line, new thermostat, had her heater core flushed, had her left rear tire remounted to seal the bead, got about 12' of new vacuum hoses, so now the 4WD engages every time. She's also gotten floor mats, & a replacement for her missing wheel center. I thought I fixed her ABS & brake light on the dash, but alas no. I tried by replacing the corroded ground wire end & cutting the module open & resoldering the relay solder joints. Going to try adding a new ground from the case of the EBCM to body ground. I thought also that all the bad vacuum hoses were the cause of the PO171 & 174 lean codes, but no. There's still something else to look for. Still happy so far with Blaze. I'll report back as I can.

 

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like Blaze was lucky to find you. It just wouldn't be fun if there wasn't something to do to her!
