Hey Brian. As you obviously know those lock out hubs are vacuum actuated. You might check the vacuum system 1st before tearing in to the hubs. Like the 9H465 solenoid, 19a566 reservoir, 19a563 vacuum check valve, or 3A785 vacuum lines in the pic below. Around here it is the 3C247 actuators usually. But you are in the Cold climate. Let me know if you need some help with whatever part(s).
Thanks Jeff The 4wd light illuminates on the dash so im thinking the solenoid work other wise the dash light wouldn't illuminate frow what I've heard and I know they are supposed to actuate when the vacuum is removed. Last year they worked it just took a while to actuate. I have a local garage that's going to help me out on the labor part just got to pay them. That's the hard part but he usually takes care of me if I really need the help.
High for today is 4 degrees with a low of -15, the windchill right now is -20, someone let me move in with them, i can´t even stay warm in my truck now lol
It has been raining continuously for the last 24 hours in the SF Bay Area. This morning it was 40 degrees and raining. .. the "storm" cover is keeping the temps up as well as the humidity.

So I got it fixed turns out it was the solenoid. Only cost me a $100.00 to fix. I'm ready for the white stuff now.
my local paper says that Saturday night 12-17-16. the temp. is going to be 11 .
"11".... should only be the MPG of an FE (and sometimes my Ferrari). Weather today was 51 degrees and bright sunshine. Nice day... the storm last night blew every leaf off my apple tree. 'Been raking since I got home from work. All cleaned up now.... I'll do the front yard and the stinkin' mulberry leaves tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow, I'll work on my customized bicycle project, take out the F-360 for some exercise, and on the '70 F100 work on the driving light wiring... She needs some gasoline too.
North Dakota has pretty much completely shut down with these 50mph wind gust and -20 windchill, not to mention another 6 inches of snow. The plows aren't even going anywhere yet. So how is everyone's winter going so far?
and to keep it "ford trucks" related, here's a picture of what the front of my house looks like (keep in mind the driveway was plowed yesterday morning
Man, I went to Camp Ripley in Minn. for arctic training. Our commander Capt. "HUA" ( Head Up A$$ ) thought it would be a good idea for our five man Long Range Recon teams to try and conduct missions in that environment with an ' Achio ' sp? ( one man pulled sled ) to pull our NYLON Trillium tents, and radio equipment, SATCOM gear, and misc.. You notice I didn't mention a portable artic stove. Oh no, we needed to be as stealthy as possible! The mission was to insert via parachute, move to a OP and then establish a patrol base about a klick from the OP. They had some National Guard unit with APC's ( M113's ) playing OPFOR. I can't even describe the jump. I thought I was going to shatter when I hit the ground. The blast coming out of the door of the C130 was excruciating. My hands were bricks.
The first night was like -40 F. We put up the tent.Three guys spooned and two guys spooned in our bags. We had our ECW mittens on our feet. That's how we "tried" to sleep. I brought a little one burner Peak One stove and that saved our A$$. It basically got the temp in the tent up to freezing. Heck, T-shirt temps! Our water froze solid and sleeping with the canteens only made us colder. If that was possible. The only time I was comfortable was when we were humping from-to the OP . We had to use counter tracking methods. Yeah, in the snow. That basically consisted of walking over our tracks, wearing our snow shoes backwards, creating dead ends, yada-yada. It was probably the only time I didn't mind humping a 80- 110 lbs. worth of gear all day. We did five days like that. I lost 17 lbs. in 5 days. From EFFING SHIVERING!!!!
We had guys from other teams that got some pretty severe frostbite. One guy lost a couple toes. We were the only team to stay out undetected for the full five days. Our saving grace was that little stove. I still have it.
That mission ruined me for life with regards to cold weather activities. I loved skiing and pond hockey, but after that, Not so much.
