Electric Locking Hubs

I have an 88 1 ton with a Dana 60 front end and I was wondering if there is any kind of locking hub that I can put on it so it is on its own switch, so I can still use 4x4 low in unlocked, but lock in and out without getting out of the truck?

You could disconnect the vaccuum line for the hubs, and put a soleniod and swith on that so you could controll them.

No, but, there are transfer case mods that allow this kind of operation (2x4 in LO).

to get back to your question.........no
but it would be nice for those of us with locking hubs on daily drivers if they could be made with the strength and reliability if a good set of warns , i am sure they would sell
i have just learned to accept the fact of needing to lock in before i get in a bad situation
