So I am looking at these locking hubs offered by warn for a 2020 f250 part #95060. My question is in the free position does the 4wd still work like the stock hubs in auto or does 4wd only work in lock and in free it only spins and won't engage the 4wd unless hub is locked?

No, you loose ESOF. Part of the install process is capping off the vacuum lines.

Also according to the website that part #95060 fits years 2005-2016 so if your truck is 2020 double check the part number for your year

Ok are the instruction the same across the board? I was reading around and some people are saying you clamp the likes but then some are saying it’s the same as oem do you know where the instructions are for these?
these are manual hubs... NOT replacement Electronic Shift On The Fly,( no vacuum connection.)
check for youtube vids on folks installing the hubs, there are a few...
i didn't find any instructions, but the vids will give you the process
Reliability, and also if you put your truck in 4 Low with the hubs on "FREE",... it is actually 2 wd low range, perfect at a boat launch with a steep ramp and 4wd is not required, allowing less throttle.
Changing your hubs is easy. Three bolts and they come right out. Capping the vac line takes 30 seconds. My previous truck a 2012 F250 had manual hubs and floor shifter. I use 4wd a LOT and plow with the truck in the winter. At nearly 200k miles it was on the stock plastic hubs and working great. I would not bother changing these parts unless you had a hub fail or you want the 4 LO 2wd feature. I personally do not care for ESOF at all but when there is a question, I can still just lock the factory hubs and use the dash switch to control the t-case. The t-case shift seems very reliable but the vacuum hubs engagement is iffy.
I've seen these hubs blown apart on the trail since people have been using these super dooky axles as dana 60 swaps lately. Imo, they're not that much stronger than a factory hub...
If you really want 4lo, it's literally one wire you cut and a relay you add to get the capability.

Not sure if the big concern for most Super Duty owners is improved strength, more like "it will always do like you want,....free or lock", where as the oem hub will loose vacuum at the wrong time when you need it most and fail. Not many hubs hold up under severe trail conditions, they will all explode sooner or later under those conditions with big tires. And to be honest, I wouldn't want manual hubs on my trail rig, too weak of a link.
