My 95 F150 works great in 4 wheel drive but when I disengage
the 4 wheel drive and leave the hubs locked in the drivers side
hub makes a clicking noise. I tried backing up a bit but it doesn't
change anything. Still the click click click especially noticeable when
I'm coming to a stop. Anybody have any ideas whats wrong.
I'm new to the 4wd world so this kind of stuff throws me a bit..lol

Without taking the hub off and investigating, it sounds like the automatic hub, (I am assuming that the hubs on the 95 F150 are automatic, unless they have been changed out), is not disengaging completely. You will probably have to take it apart and check it out if you don't come up with another culprit.

Auto hubs? Two words...total crap. Normally when they start acting up, its time to ditch them! I had the same problem on my 96 Bronco with the autos. They left me stuck once. Once! Thats all it took. I pulled them off and threw some Warn Premium manual hubs on. Never looked back. Just lock them before you go, and press the push button when you need it on demand. AFAIK, the auto hubs have some plastic parts in them! Last time I checked, plastic isnt the best for moving parts. But, if you have manual hubs, I just ranted for nothing .

It is definately your hubs, it sounds as though the lock out assembly is stuck between lock and free position. It is possible that you my have some gunk in your hubs causing them to hang up. It happened to me once on my 84 F150. Remove the hub cover it's held on by 5 or 6 cap screws. The actual lockout is inside the hub, remove it by pulling the 2 snap rings ( one on the end of the axle and one on the inside of the hub it's self. Pull the lockout out of the hub, inspect it for cracks. The inner part is spring loaded push it in to see if it fully retracts. If you have driven through deep water the this mechanism can get gummed up with dirt and sediment. The inner part can be removed by removing the snap ring on the back side of the assembly. There is a spring inside so be careful when you take it apart. Once you have the lockout disassembled clean the inside of the housing with solvent. Dry it good with a rag, then smear a layer of all purpose grease on the inside of the housing and reassemble the lockout. Use the same procedure to reassemble the hub assembly. Good luck!
