more on auto locking hubs
ok am very worried about this, truck still in shop and not sure what to replace
is it possible to tell if the hub is working correctly by looking inside the mechanism and moving the lever, i am doing this right now and do not see it doing anything????
most likely changing over to manual
what does everybody think?

My experience with auto hubs has been bad ,had problems with them in my Bronco and 97 f250hd ,replaced them in my 97 with warn premium hubs which worked excellent.........never doing them before it took a few hours for the one side and about 15 minutes for the other side once I figured it out !
Glad I have manuals in my new 2000 superduty...not sure who makes them though Good Luck
