Well I take it you read this post then, It started out as an easy one to answer and then we get hit with a guy who has a truck with a different hub on one side of his truck than the other. no problem though.

 

yes that is exactly what happened. i was trying to figure out why someone was talking about an F150 in a Superduty forum as if they were comparing the two..but oh well no hard feelings and i gave you a rep point

 

Thanks Bigdaddy......I'll have to give up a rep to you too.

 

Thanks to everyone. I think I get it now. The owners manual could use a little help, or maybe I was just too dense to understand it.

 

Sorry guys, but I still don't understand why my truck has auto/lock on 1 side & free/lock on the other...? Is there a problem w/ my truck? If there is not a problem & I want to use "auto" mode as described in the post what position do I put each hub in?

 

What is the year, model, engine, auto or manual transmision? I have a feeling that some one that owned the truck before you had a bad hub and wentout and did a swap and got the wrong kind. but depending on which 4x4 system you have will depend on which hub is the wrong one. so do you have the floor shifter or the ESOF switch on the dash?

 

jvoigt- thanx for the reply
my truck is an '04 6.0 auto w/ a floor shifter
i bought the truck new so to my knowledge no one has changed the hubs

 

Do you still have a factory warranty PWRSTROKE? if you do I would recomend takeing it in and haveing them either explain to you why you have mis-matched hubs and maybe they will replace the one that is wrong.....unless I am mistaken and the trucks with a floor 4x4 shift have this setup. I am really not sure cause I have the ESOF switch on the dash and both my hubs say Auto-------Lock and I have no experiance with superduties with the floor shifter. Your best bet would be to go to the Ford dealer and ask them or go look at a superduty that has the floorshift 4x4 and see how that one is set up, or possibly some one who knows more than me will come to your rescue and give you a straight answer.

 

thanx for your help... I have a warranty thru December, I'll check w/ the dealer unless anyone else has some advice

 

Pwrstroke I recommend you take your truck in. Because your truck has the manual 4x4 shift lever your truck should have two free/lock hubs. The auto/lock hub will still function manually like the free/lock hub but since your truck in under warranty I would make it right. My guess is there was mix up on the assembly line.
