Arrow how does this 4X4 really opperate?

I have a 99 F250 SD with the V10.
It has manual hubs plus the selector switch in the cab. I can feel the front engage no matter which position the hubs are in when I select 4 hi or low.Any good advise?

If you have a 4x switch, the hubs are automatic. The 99+ front axle has a manual portion in the hub, but I think it just dictates Automatic or Locked. No free.

The hubs will have marked on them "Lock-Unlock" or "Lock-Auto". My 99 has a manual transfer case and manual hubs. If yours has ESOF, your hubs should be auto hubs. But- it is entirely possible someone changed the hubs.

Thanks for the advise. The hubs are not marked in any way. I feel the torque weather they are turned ccw or cw.

If the hubs have not been maintained, they could be stuck in the engaged position , reguardless of the cw / ccw rotation.
