How do you tell if front hubs are bad on a 1999 Ford F250 4x4?

jack up front end and lock in the hub, when you spin the tire by hand you should see the axle shaft spin. If it does not spin it is not locking in. if it has the auto/manual hub you can check the manual part the same but for the auto part you would need a hand held vacuum pump to test.

How do you lock the hubs on a 1999 ford F250 4x4?
Rotate the black center in the front wheel clockwise.
Does a Ford F250 4X4 have locking hubs or is it shift on the fly?
I have a 2005 which does have locking hubs, but that is so you can lock your differential from slipping. If you're stuck on a hill with all 4 wheels spinning, lock the hubs and your gear ratio is far apart, your front wheels won't spin, and the front wheels will actually do the pulling. Whether yours has locking hubs depends on the year of F250. Later F250's, I believe beginning with the 1998 models, do have auto-locking / manual hubs. The later F250 hubs can be activated manually or electronically. When you electronically turn on the 4wd ("shift-on-the-fly"), you engage the transfer case, front drive shaft, and front axle shafts. Also, when you electronically turn on the 4wd you activate a vacuum solenoid, which provides a vacuum source to each of your front hubs to engage them. The front hubs only connect the front wheels to the front axle shafts and has nothing to do with the front axle differential, which is an open differential unless you have a differential other than the factory installed piece.

Is a 2001 ford f250 xlt 4x4 shift on the fly?
It is Shift on the Fly but it has manual hubs. So you can put in it 4x4 in the cab but would have to get out to engage the hubs. So what i do is when i think i am going to need the 4x4 i lock the hubs before hand. Having the hubs unlocked reduces ware on the front drive tran and betters the MPG

Which direction do you turn hubs to lock hubs on a 2000 ford f250?
The direction could be different depending on who made the hubs for Ford. If there are no arrows present, with the vehicle in four wheel drive, jack up one wheel and try both directions until the hub locks.

The Ford locking hubs allow you to manually disconnect the front wheels of your vehicle from the front half shafts. This basically shuts the 4 wheel drive off.
