Only 98-99 Rangers had PVH
You are converting from a automatic vacuum hub setup to a live axle setup = NO MORE HUBS
This means both half shafts (CV axles) are spinning all the time, the front diff ring and pinion gear is spinning all the time.
The 2000-11 Rangers, the 97-01 Explorers, 97-04 sport and sport trac are all this way from the factory
If you remove all of the vacuum lines from the valve down to both wheel hubs and then remove the valve itself (below pass headlight)
Then you will be able to route the vacuum line that feeds the hub controller right back into itself, remove the "T" and simply plug the two lines together
Will see if I can get a picture
Also you do not have to swap the entire knuckle, just the wheel bearing and CV axle.....but if your donor is a later model Explorer sport, sport trac or later model ranger the knuckle will have provisions for larger rotors...so in that case you will need the knuckle and larger rotors to take advatange of the bigger brakes
