4x4 Shiftting??
I have a 92 F250 7.3/ i.d.i.. I think I have one of those E 4OD trannys I see posted all over FTE forums.
How about the norm for engaging transfer case with locked in hubs?
I was told no engaging while moving Yet tonight I was able to disenagae & engage into 4high (25-30mph.)with locked hubs & there was no protest at all.
Is this a valid move or am I risking tranny damage?
it went in & out like it was the normal operation.
I do appreciate some comments on this shiffting on the move
manuevor!!

Auto hubs,stop truck and put it in 4x4,after that you can shift from 4h-2or2-4h on the fly.mauual hubs once they are engaged allows you to go from 2-4h or 4h -2 at just about any speed(With in reason)and yes that would be normal operation.

Thanx , pnose
Got rid of that soupbowl, with a noticable improvement in operation,m.pg. increased & oil use seems less
i bought this baby for low miles & stock cond.
Now I'd like to modify modistly yet properly for Hp & performance
So this manual lock in my '92 F250 is ready to shift on the go,
2w-4wh say 50 or less?
disengading out of 4h is natural
All seems well,
thanx again

on a manual tranny does the clutch have to be in?
Im having trouble getting it to engage when im in a stopped position. I stop, engage, and let out the clutch, usually engaging right when i need it, like in a ravine or something that i normally would be able to get out of in 4x4 but cannot because im in 2x4. If it helps I have New Locking Hubs, less than 2oo miles on them.

Does not make any difference if the clutch is in or out, moving or not. What does make a difference is front wheels rolling and the rear wheels spinning. That would make a mess you do not want to clean up. If there is any question about the wheels spinning I hit the clutch to be safe. It is easier to hit the clutch than pay for new gears.
If I see a place coming up that is probably going to need 4x4 I pull it in before I get there. It is much easier to keep it rolling through a bad spot than trying to get it moving in a bad spot.
