looking at a SD. got some questions.
im looking to upgrade, cause the 150 just dosent cut it anymore. but i got some questions.
1. do all the 4x4s have a solid front axel?
2. do they all have manual hubs?
3. is it alright to leave the hubs locked? (im spoiled with not having to get out to lock hubs anymore with the 97 150)
4. im looking at the newer body style 7.3s, is there anything i should know? any common problems? most of them are right around the 150-200k mile mark.
thanks in advance.

1. Yes.
2. No. Some do, but most were equipped with ESOF.
3. You won't have to exit the vehicle to lock the hubs with ESOF.
4. Newer body style? You mean the 99+ Super Duty vs. the OBS "Heavy Duty" F-250/350? IF so, someone will chime in here with a link for all the information.
