Can you drive a 1993 Ford Bronco with manual hubs locked in 2 wheel drive?
Yes, but it will increase wear on the front part of the drivetrain, and also might decrease mileage a little. I only lock the hubs when I might need 4wd in winter.
Do you have to unlock the manual hubs on a 2006 f 250 super duty that has a 2-4 wheel drive selecter switch on the dash?
Your hubs should have a "Locked" and an "Auto" setting. Under normal conditions, you should run in auto. Then if you need 4-wheel drive, flip the switch. Should the switch ever malfunction or go out, you have to manually lock and unlock (auto position) the hubs.
Does 4 wheel drive work better when manually locking the front hubs?

1988 f-150 4x4 manuel shift transfer case with manuel lock out hubs drive in 2 wheel with the transfer case acting like it in 4 wheel with the hubs in the free position?
This really requires a test drive to start with. But a couple things to check: in 2 wd and hubs in "un-locked" position crawl underneath and see if the front drive shaft will turn, If it does not shake it and see if you can tell if the transfer case is locked in. Next see if you can get the outer Knuckle U-joints to turn, if they both turn easily then the hubs a not jammed in the lock position internally. If one turns and the drive shaft turns with it then the other hub is jammed. Finally bad outer Knuckle "U" joints will cause the normal 4 wheel drive steering shake and drag feeling when turning. Take a pry bar and see if they show slop when wiggled.
How do you unlock the four wheel drive?
To unlock 4 wheel drive on a vehicle will depend on the type of system the vehicle has. If it has a self locking hub, there should be a switch to turn from 4 wheel drive to 2 wheel drive. Always have the vehicle stopped before doing this. If the vehicle does not have self locking hubs, the vehicle has to be shifted to 2 wheel drive after the hubs are unlocked manually.

How to make sure your hubs are unlocked in a 97 pathfinder?
with 4-wheel drive engaged make a sharp turn at low speed. (2mph wheel turned max left or right) if it rolls in a circle smooth the hubs are unlocked. if it feels like it binds or is jerky while turing your hubs are still engagedupdated answerdon't ever make a sharp turn on pavement with 4 wheel drive engaged. you could easily break something in the front drive train. Another answerPut the car back in 2-wheel mode, then drive in reverse (in a straight line) for about 20 to 40 feet. This should fully disengage the hubs...this is a good safety if you've been driving in 4-wheel low.
Im looking at an 1997 Chevy blazer there is no 2 wheel 4 wheel drive switch on the dash does this mean its full time 4wd or awd?

How do you remove the automatic hubs on a 1990 suburban?
That is just a figure of speech,( automatic hubs) on a 1990 model 4x4. There are no hubs to remove, It has a 1/2 shaft with CV joints-- AXEL SHAFT, And when ingaged in 4-wheel drive it locks the ring and pinion in instead of lock-outs, There is nothing to remove.
