Hub ID

Hey all what is happening? So here it is. On my truck all the words are gone to let me know if my hubs are locked or in auto. Is there a way to tell what they are in at the moment?
Thanks,
Shawn

I believe you turn them clockwise to 'lock' them and counter-clockwise to put them in 'auto'. Im not 100% sure on that, but an easy way to check to see if the hubs are locked is to reach under and spin the CV joint in the knuckle right behind the tire. If you can spin it by hand, the hubs are unlocked, if you can't it means that they are locked. (that means that they are either in the 'locked' position, or they have been locked with the dashboard **** and are still in the auto position)

Hope that helps :-)

If your lockhubs aren't beat-up and you still have visible prints(auto and lock)you have
a small dot like (engraved) on lock hab's shell indicating the position .
