4x4 manual or auto

I'm the new owner of a 1995 f150 4.9 5spd 4x4. Love the truck. My question is how can I tell if my 4x4 has manual locking hubs or auto locking hubs?

Thanks

You should be able to tell by looking at the front hubs

I had a 2000 Excursion v10 with auto hubs but also could lock manual. I was wondering if my f150 could be the same setup. I know my excursion had vacaum lines going to the hubs.

now that you pointed that out im not sure.. I've never hard to chance to mess with auto hubs and not that familar with 4x4s for the most part. However I believe you answered your own question with the vac lines statment. I may be wrong but thats what I would look for.

You're 95 will have manual, or automatic hubs, and not the newer style combination hubs.

If there's a **** on the hubs they're manual, and if there is nothing to switch or rotate on the hubs they're automatic.
