Is it possible or has anyone had their auto locking hubs engage spontaneously? I was out in some good sloppy mud a few weekends back and ever since I have had an occasional popping coming from the driver side front wheel hub. I just had an alignment and bearings done on the front end so I know that these are in good shape and it really feels like the hub is engaging in 4 wheel drive. Also has anyone ever taken their push button 4x4 and converted it to a shift 4x4 using the same transfer case? I guess I should have said that I have a 1994 Bronco XLT with a 302, E4OD, auto hubs, and push button 4x4.

Thanks

The manual hubs were my next upgrade, just waiting for my next payday. I still am curious about converting the transfer case to lever activated and not with the push button though. I was under the Bronco a few nights back and noticed there is a knock out for the lever to come up through the floor. HMMMM

 

marriedguy1,
as gypsy wrote, the auto hubs go when needed the most it seems.
I have Tony G's auto to warn manual hub swap DIY in my gallery..I'd post the link for you here, but I'm leaving now.
It's near the top of my links.
