I have a 99 F-250 and I can't turn the hubs from auto to manual. Have they crapped out on me?

At the very least they need to be disassembled and cleaned.It is a good idea to lock the hubs for a bit every couple of weeks.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 25-Nov-02 AT 10:15 AM (EST)]CBSuper really like those acetoned emblems. Did everybody say it only works on the older emblems? Does it work on the F250 emblem too?

Acetone works on the newer emblems; the older ones were made differently. Forgot the exact years, but prior posts have those details.

Try pointing your garden hose at your hubs for a litle while on full blast. Then hit with a quick burst of WD-40 (don't saturate the area -- if a quick burst doesn't do it, stop there). If they still don't turn.... such is the price you pay for the convenience of ESOF. But look at it this way -- if they were manual hubs and you never locked them, you'd have a problem as well.
