#1 Internail locking hub may be frozen in place with rust or thick grease. #2 May have a problem with transfer case.

How does the front wheels lock in on a 1996 GMC 4x4?
If it doesn't have manually locking hubs on the front wheels, It means it's a "constantly" locked front 4x4. You don't have to lock them, they already are.
1990 Toyota 4 runner 4x4 you are replacing the front end so you have manual locking hubs is the cv boot from the automatic locking hubs the same as the cv boot for the manual locking hubs?
No.
What is locking your wheels?
Can you use it in a sentence? This could have multiple meanings. Locking your wheels could mean braking so hard that the wheel stop turning even though the vehicle is still moving. e.g. skidding such as when on ice. "I stepped on the brake and my wheels locked up" Or, if this is a 4WD vehicle, it could mean engaging the front wheels so they are connected to the rest of the drive train. Older 4wd vehicles had manual dials on each front hub that you would turn to either engage - or disengage that wheel to the transmission. When disengaged - that wheel would spin free like on a 2wd vehicle. When engaged, it now receives power from the transmission same as the rear wheels. Engaging a hub in this manner is called "Locking in the hubs" or "Locking in the wheels". BTW - most modern 4WD vehicles have an automatic locking mechanism that performs this task for you when you shift into 4WD. Lastly, I suppose once could say "locking your wheels" is setting the parking brake so that the wheels cannot roll.

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.

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.
What is in a manual?
where you skate, with the front wheels of the ground, it takes good balance and skill do do it. You can also do a nose manual if you lift the back wheels up.
How do you engage the 4wd on a 1998 Ford Ranger with turn switch?
Try to engage while in neutral.or another way I've heard is to reverse a few feet and then stop and put in to 4 wheel dr.AnswerIf when you engage it the 4wd light comes on but you are still in 2wd it might be that your hubs aren't locked. Rangers either have auto or manual locking hubs. If they are manual locking you will see something you can turn in the middle of the front wheels. When you turn them to the locked position your axels are engaged to the wheels and will spin together. When they aren't locked your front axel isn't enganed to the front wheels. Don't drive normally with them locked. Only lock them when you need 4wd.
Why don't the front wheels not lock in when in 4 wheel drive on a 1999 Kia Sportage?
there is a few reasons why, they are a vacuum system. most times the hoses crack and leak. did you check to see if you have vacuum at the wheels? most cases people buy the warn manual locking hubs and the problem is fixed
Why does the front drive shaft turn when in two wheel drive mode on a 2001 Chevy 4x4 with electronic slectable four wheel drive?
I am assuming your truck doesn't have front manual locking hubs,since most of the 1/2 ton class of trucks made today buy the most popular manufactures-Ford,Chevy,GMC,Dodge Etc... do not have Manual locking front hubs to engage your front axles like in the past older versions of 4x4 trucks.Some of the larger rated 4x4 trucks 2500,F250 Etc...and up can still use manual locking hubs.This Explains Manual front locking hubs-they are just like it says-you personally have to manually go to the front axle hub and turn the selector from the free position to the lock position 4x4 then when you are driving you select 4 wheel drive from your cab usually a selector lever or push button then the front wheels are given power by the transfer case-which is 4 wheel drive. With the new series of 4x4 trucks they do not have manually locking hubs on the front axles no more.They are direct coupled to the front drive axles which go into the front differential housing then routed to the front drive shaft then to the transfer case. Your front axles and differential,front drive shaft turns when your truck is in motion frontwards or in reverse its a constant.You have control to engage your truck in 4 wheel drive by your selector usually a button you push on your dash or a manual lever coming up from the floor.So when you assume your in 2 wheel drive the only wheels with power is the rear which is correct BUT the front wheels and its connecting partners are still turning even though they are just rotating freely for the ride. Otherwise with MANUAL LOCKING hubs you could push your button or pull your lever to engage your 4 wheel drive and the dash light 4x4 indicator may be on but the rear wheels will only have power --unless you stop your truck and manually go and turn the manual locking hub to the lock position on your front axles. The down side people may have with the inconvience of manual locking hubs you have to get out and turn them in yourself when the weather may be worsening or turn them in and let then in at your leisure,The up side is when they are set to FREE--the only thing turning is just your wheels and tires-the axles and front differential and the front drive shaft DOSEN'T turn-which can save you fuel,wear and tear on these critical componets,less maintenance on the componets of your front end.The down side of having the front axles and differential and drive shaft it does rob you of some fuel mileage and it does wear these componets out faster.The UP side is when you need 4 wheel drive all you do is push your button or pull your manual lever and you have it.Hope you find this helpful--God Bless.
