hub problem

I was going to school this morning and I hear a loud whining noise and clicking, and I think it's the hub and I think its only the front right. I took it to the dealer this afternoon and they're gonna try and look at it tomorrow. I tried backing it out to unlock. The truck has not been in 4x4 in over a month. It was like the hub was 1/2 way in. So I figured it'd be better if I let a pro look at it before something got tore up or wore out before its time. Next move I'm gonna do is convert to manual hubs!

IMO I would never have brought it to the dealer. I would have swapped to manuals rather than having a dealer tell me the hubs are blown and you would need new ones anyway.

I don't have the tools or the time to do that conversion.

The conversion only takes 30 minutes!

An allen wrench, needle nose pliers and a small flat blade screwdriver was all I needed.
