The Ford F2 50 four-wheel-drive hubs will be locked when they are turned to the right. They will be online when they are turned to the left.
Turn right or clock wise to lock hub and turn left or counter clockwise to unlock hub.
I believe it is clockwise to lock but i have searched this and no one is saying anything
I have a 2000 tacomaa 4x4 and it has manual locking hubs. I have to physically get out and turn the lock. so I dont think so unless it has been customized.
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.
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,
ok it should have lock in hubs so pull your 4x4 switch onto 4x4 high and get out and turn your hubs on both sides on your front wheels
push the 4X4 button located on the center console If you have a manual transfer case, you have to lock the front hubs, Turn the dials on the front hubs from "FREE" to "LOCK". The manual transfer case is "shift-on-the-fly". This means you can shift between 2HI and 4HI and back while moving. You must be stopped to shift from 4HI to 4LO or from 4LO to 4 HI. With automatic hubs the above answer will work. To disengage the auto hubs take it out of 4 wheel drive and drive in reverse for around 10 feet.
Turn the dial on the wheel hub to lock position. To unlock, turn it back. If you look at the center of the front wheels, you will see it.
If you have manual locking hubs they lock when you turn clockwise. This engages the wheels to the front axles and the front differential. You can then engage the 4wd from the cab lever. If you unlock the hubs (turn couterclockwise) they disengage and "free wheel" This position saves a little fuel since you are not spinning all that heavy steel in the front differential all the time. You should always engge the hubs a few times per year even if you don't use the 4wd. This allows all of the oil seals to turn and get new lubricant.
LOCK THE HUBS........
