Sounds like you have a vacuum leak somewhere. Is your truck 4x4? When you turn the key to the on position, does your vacuum pump turn on? The pump is on the passenger side firewall.

Check the fuses. Check to see if the pump is getting power but not coming on. If that is the case, a new pump is in order. Yes, the pump has gone out before for some people.

The fuse was the first thing I checked. I ordered a new pump I'll see if that takes care of it. I think all the plumbing to the hub lock is in ordered. I changed ball joints last year and all the seals with that. The auto lock has been working up till now. Thanks for all the help. I'll post back when I get it fixed. A Curtis

I picked up the cheap pump on Ebay 60.00 and free shipping. Works like a champ. Thanks for the help. FWIW If you spray some penetrating oil around the hub selector **** and work them back and forth they get easy to turn.
