idk if my 4x4 is working. if I have my locking hubs inthe right place...my 4x4 switch comes on can someone give me the right way to do everything. I know im supposed to move my hubs but dont know where exactly its supposed to be? anyone help!

 

What do your hubs say? 1 style is AUTO-LOCK other is UNLOCKED-LOCKED

either way if thry are in the locked position and you engauge it you'll be in 4x4

 

i asked the same question and got no responce ok so put it in park and transfer case in 4x4 jack up one side and turn the wheel see if axel turns if it does let that side down go to other side jack it up turn wheel if it free wheels turn hub till it locks up now you are in 4x4 drive.

 

Should be turning the hubs counterclock-wise is free, clock-wise will lock them in

 

My Ranger has auto matic locking wheels. To disengage them you need to take it out of 4 wheel drive and then back up 10 feet to unlock the hubs.

 

both hubs are same one will turn cw the other ccw those damn ford hubs are not marked all there is is a dot i swapped to warne at least i can read them

 

Totally agree, the markings are BS and the hubs are cast piles of crap. If you use a switch to engage 4wd rather than a lever, your hubs totally rely on a o-ring to stay engaged, what happens a few years down the road when that o-ring dry rots? you accidently slide off the road and now need that 4wd to get out, and OOOPPPPSSS that thing fails. No ford guy should keep that particular ford part on their truck, if its an auto hub it should automatically go straight in the trash. Warn, Superwinch, Mile Marker, all great hubs, all mechanical, all reliable, and all have a lifetime warranty!!!! ever had to fix one? The tech leads you thru it over the phone its so easy, there's nothing to them, even the most inept person can rebuild or repair a manual hub.

Can you tell I've been screwed by the auto hubs and hate them with a passion? mine blew apart simply plowing and took out the bearing before I could get home, $600 in parts to fix it. Mile Markers all the way on my dually.
