Leave them in Auto, as long as the vacuum system is working properly.
Which o-ring are you refering to. The one in the front just behind the dial, or the vacuum seal in the rear?.

On my truck, the o-ring that seals the dial to the body of the hub tore and squished out the last time I turned the dial. I went to the parts dept and described what happened and told them that I needed the o-ring to seal the dial to the body. They sold me an "o-ring kit, 4C3Z-1K106-AA". The kit contains two black o-rings that are identical to each other and a steel clip. The description on the bag reads "retaining clip for hub lock retention to wheel hub, o-ring for testing hub lock, o-ring for final installation of hub lock into wheel hub" ($10.88). They also sold me the yellow o-ring, part number "F81Z-4A322-AA", description "seal" ($4.22). This is the o-ring that I assume would work with the clip from the other kit to attach the hub lock assembly to the wheel hub.

Since they sell the parts, I assume that the hub lock can be disassembled to replace that dial o-ring, though I have yet to see an exploded view of the assembly to see exactly what is involved in taking the hub lock apart to replace the dial o-ring.

Perhaps there is an exploded view in one of the service manuals or one of these DVD manuals? I sure would like to either fix this or find out definitively that it can't be fixed and take the parts back. Does anyone have access to such a diagram?
