Should i just leave my front hubs locked or should i unlock them and will it stay in fourwheel if i leave them locked?
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.

How do you tell if the hubs are locked on f350?
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.

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.
Can you drive a '95 GEO Tracker with manual hubs in 2WD with the hubs locked without doing damage?
Yes. That si a way to have 4x4 available without having to get out of the car. The only catch is that you will have lower gas mileage since you are pushing the extra drive train , i.e. front wheels drive components. Even if the tires spin freely. Hi, I have a '97 w/manual hubs and my owner's manual tells me to never drive with the hubs locked in 2wd as it could cause damage so I wouldn't. I lock the hubs shift into 4hi once a month and drive about a mile and then shift back and unlock the hubs, I think it's to make sure the hubs sstay free moving and working. Hope this helps. Steve H. You will possibly do damage to the drivetrain, and at the very least you will wear a set of tires out very quickly.
For 1998 Nissan Pathfiner should front hubs turn without moving drive shafts when 4 wd disengaged Should wheel spin without moving driveshaft when up on jack stand?
NO. Engaging four wheel drive only engages the transfer case. Older four wheel drives had to have the hubs locked manually, by turning a dial on the hub itself. Newer vehicles no longer require the hubs to be manually locked.
How do you turn on locking hubs on a 1995 Toyota 4runner?
a 95 4 runner probably doesn't have locking hubs. it probably has a.d.d. or automatic disconnect differential which means the hubs are always locked. so all you have to do is shift the transfer case lever into 4 wheel drive.
What is the difference in locking hubs and fixed?
difference between locking and fixed hubs is fixed hubs are driven the whole time this means that the axles and hubs turn as the wheels turn these are engaged at the transmission when needed locking hubs are free wheeling hubs, and when not locked the wheels will turn but the axles are not turning some have a switch inside cab to lock them, some you have to get out of vehicle and manuelly lock the hub at the hub these hubs when unlocked will not drive when transmission is engaged,
