They'll just break. All Ford Auto Hubs break. Stay with manual.

the "auto" hubs on the new superdutys are basically the same design as the maunuals, the autos have a lock selction, and an auto selection, the manuals jus thave lock and unlock.....these hubs are much better than the junk that came on your truck raw.....theres no reason for him to switch out his hubs
