Most trucks with locking hubs have little switches on the front tires, int he center. Depending on how far they are turned, the wheels will be locked or unlocked. If the 350 is less than twenty years old, you probably don't need to lock the hubs yourself, it will be automatic when you shift into four-wheel drive.
what year? manual or auto hubs? 2001 , crew cab, 4X4. manual hubs
If 4-wheel drive is not needed, you should unlock the front hubs. Yes, the hubs remain locked even if your front transfer case is not set to 4-wheel drive, and this can be very hard on both the hubs and transfer case.
are you sure you have the hubs locked in? if automatic hubs then it probably needs manual hubs put in. You have to be stopped and transmission in neutral
i believe its a automatic friction lock if u don't have manual locking hubs
In many trucks with automatic hubs it is necessary to reverse the truck about ten feet after you take it out of four wheel drive. Sometimes further, usually you can hear a small click while backing up. Hope this helps.
If you maintain the speed limits for the gears on the vehicle. However if it is not necessary to keep the hubs locked in unlock them because this will use a large amount of gas.
No need to change the hubs. 16' rims can be obtained from Colorado Wheel Company and fitted with no problem.
clock wise is lock
they should be free, when in 4x4 they should be locked.
No, leaving the hubs locked will cause both front tires to spin at the same rate. When going around corners (on dry pavement), the inside tire is supposed to turn at a slower rate than the outside tire. If the hubs are left locked, you will destroy the axle.
put in manual hubs. that is the best way to make sure that they get locked in every time.
Sure. Everthing in neutral, no hubs locked.
