4X4 Hub Question
OK guys. I am trying to figure out the auto hubs vs. the warn hubs. I know that the warn hubs are manual locking, meaning I need to get out and turn them to lock them in. However, this is where I am getting confused considering that with this truck I have always used the auto switch with the hubs. When you get out and manually lock the hubs does this engage the 4X4 or do you still have to turn the switch on the dash?
I know in my previous trucks I had the floor shifter to engage the 4X4 after locking the hubs and you could leave the hubs locked if you wanted. I am just not that familiar with this vacuum stuff and how it works. If you can lock the hubs and still use the switch on the dash what happens to the vacuum mechanism?
I think I know the answers but I want to be positive and hence the question. I'd rather sound like a bonehead than not know for sure.
Thanks,
Bob

Is the reason everyone changes them due to problems they see? I have had to get the vacuum stuff fixed twice now, but it has always been at the beggining of the winter when I get the thing serviced.
Is there another advantage to this other than people seeing problems with the auto hubs?
