Automatic Hubs Locking by themselves
My brother hs a 91-92 Ford Explorer with about 110k on it... it's a 4 wheel drive with a 5 speed.
All of the sudden the hubs are locking in on thier own causing quite a problem, any on else here of this or know a solution? is it the hubs themselves, maybe something electricle?

Try cleaning them. They are what is called a "dry" hub, which means you aren't supposed to pack them with grease. They get the grease they need from the wheel bearings. And when they get too much grease in them, that can cause them to engage when they aren't supposed to.
