2003 Locking Hub Operation

I recently purchased a 2003 F350 FX4 Dually with the 7.3L Diesel. It has locking hubs and electric shift in the cab.

I have had locking hubs before that you had to engage to shift into 4 wheel drive and I have had trucks without locking hubs.

My truck didn't come with a manual, so I am looking for instructions for the proper use of this system.

Thanks for your help.

Sounds to me PO changed the auto hubs to manual locking hubs. You need to manually lock the hubs and turn the dial to shift the transfer case and manually unlock the hubs and turn the dial to shift back to 2WD.
