Auto Locking Hubs

I have a 2004 with the shift on the fly 4X4. Does it make a difference whether the hubs are in the auto mode or in the manual lock mode when I shift to 4 wheel drive? I was thinking that the hubs are vacuum controlled so it should be ok to leave the hubs in the auto position.

Thanks

Leave them in the auto mode unless they fail. Then you can use the manual mode to lock them in.
