I've owned a number of 4wd vehicles and all were shift on the fly. I've never owned one that had manually locking hubs.
I'm confused over how things work on a truck that has both manually locking hubs and shift on the fly 4wd.
1: Let's say I don't touch the hubs but just shift into 4hi or 4low....do the hubs just automatically lock?
2: What if I get out, lock the hubs manually but do not select 4hi or 4 low on the shift knob? is the truck now in 4 hi just because the hubs are locked? I'd assume no because the transfer case didn't shift any power up front?
so what is the point of the manual locking option?
thx
