2013 4x4 hub problem
I just bought a 2013 f250 xl with 76000 miles. Locked hubs for the first time and drove and I get a whirring noise out of drivers side in 2wd. goes away in 4x4. Unlock hubs and noise goes away. Could hubs be broken? or should I just replace the stock junkers and forget about it? Thanks

If you have a warranty when you bought it I would take it in.
Otherwise I would pull the hub. It may just need serviced is all.
The hubs they use now are actually pretty good.
It could also be a wheel bearing issue that you are hearing.
I think I would repeat the pattern and drive it for several miles and get out and check for excessive heat at the wheel bearing and see what you get.
