front driveline question????
I just bought a 06 f250 crew cab. My question is: Is the front driveline supposed to be spinning all the time? I thought it had locking hubs to lock or unlock the front driveline?

The front driveshaft should idle (not spin at a speed equal to the rear shaft anyway) while in 2wd. If you have ESOF the hubs theoretically should be disengaged when the ESOF switch is in 2WD mode, and the front shaft should not spin.

The front driveline will spin in 2wd, just VERY SLOWLY 
Get underneath and try to turn the front driveshaft by hand. Check to see if both u-joints in the front spindles are spinning when you turn the driveshaft.
Report back!
