[QUOTE="snow2, post: 454414, member: 7990"] Well + and - both ford/GM does Ford trucks still use manual mechanical lock outs on 4x4's? Seems like a costly maintenance issue down the road, I remember when GM came out with they're all new suburban in late 90's GM had dealers from around the country come for the unveiling and had the all new Ford excursion to compare with said suburban, Ford was more stout better ground clearance...closer inspection relieved $10k more $$ over suburban but also tje excursion was built on Fords f250 crew cab chassis that Ford welded a cap on p/u box and this high end trim pkg Ford still had hub lock outs. Never could figure out why Ford never by passed manual mechanical 4x4 hubs,excessive wear from transfer case front-end components, poor fuel economy not that we purchase trucks for fuel economy but 20mpgs vs 10 to 12 mpgs makes a difference.
