Hi
I got my 2001 f 250 7.3D 183k miles a few months ago. Yesterday the grass was really wet when I went to put it into 4wd I realized that the hubs were not marked or the marking wore off. I rotated the hubs to what I thought was lock (counter clockwise) I am not sure if this is right. The front hubs did not engage I moved them clockwise then counter clockwise Finally they engaged. I just am not sure which direction is lock and if I have the lock/auto or lock/free hubs or if I have a problem. Can some one help.
I did not realize there are manual hubs that are lock/auto. My previous trucks were either auto self locking or manual. Guess I am living in the dark ages..
I have the origional window sticker and it lists as an option Electronic shift on the fly. Could I assume then that the hubs are auto/lock if they were not replaced.
