Hub Question

Guys... The hubs on my 2001.... Are they 3 position, meaning left/free, middle/auto, right/lock? Or just left/auto and right/lock? Ford service manager told me 3 position years-a-freakin-go and I think I've had them half locked in forever!

The only good thing I can say is I have 4wd. But I got the blower out of the defrost and the hubs will not engage in the left position. I know, get the Mile Marker hubs and plug the vac lines.... Just wanna find out if Im right about 2 or 3 position!

I'm relatively new to the super duties, but I have not seen or read anything about this 3rd position. Just lock or auto.

Why get Markers when you can turn the stock ones. Lefty loosey, righty tighty (lock)

I think both are an improvement on the stock ones. Stock ones need periodic cleaning and lubing to work well and even then they're not as smooth as MM or Warn.
