Running the stock hubs, how can you tell if your drive train is running?
In other words when the stock hubs are in the free position how can you tell if they are actually locked when they are not suppose to be?

My wife loves this part. Have some one in the truck, either back up, or pull forward, watch the drive shafts at easch wheel. Migght be easier to look at them before the truck moves, so you know where/what you are looking at.

If they are unlocked you can stick your hand in and turn the axle at the U-joint.

I had them off before when I did the wheel bearings. They were a breeze. But I am thinking of doing brakes, testing my batteries, replacing a couple axuliary switches. So, I shall wait. Thanks though!!

Bowie,
Have you ordered your hubs yet?
If not, you can disconnect the vacuum and use your stockers the same way as the $200 hubs.
Remove the snap ring and pull the hub out.
Depress the white plastic portion about half way down and release. This should unlock the hub.
Reinstall the hub.
Disconnect and plug the vacuum line at the solenoid.
Now your transfer case will engage with the motor and your hubs will not.
You can get out and turn you hubs to engage and dis-engage them.
PM me if you have any questions.
Bill

Also,What part # did you order. Thanks
