I've read numerous postings about the trouble with auto hubs, and how they won't engage properly. I have a '94 XLT with the shift-on-the-fly push button 4x4 and auto hubs. My problem is the opposite however. After returning from 4 wheel drive mode, the hubs have difficulty disengaging. The transfer case seems to be functioning properly, as I can hear and feel it engage/disengage as I push the button on/off. Backing up doesn't work as it should to disengage them. Only after a few miles of making loud noise they finally make an awful clunk in the front end a few times, then seem to disengage. I heard about installing the warn manual hubs, are they worth it? If it cures my problem, I'm all for it. |

I am sorry to say it but Fords auto hubs are prolly the worst hubs out there. They are not reliable at all. I would say go for the warns.

Warns Premium Hubs are definately worth it. They usually run around $100. They have a lifetime warranty too. Not that you can break them.

switch it back into 2 high, and then put it in reverse, and back up 10-15 feet. This should disengage it. |

My sister had autos in her F250 when ever she got in some mud with her horse trailer they would kick out as far as not letting go I would take them apart and reassemble with a light coating of marine grade grease they are probobly dry and sticking or got water in them  |
