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.
yes
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.
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
what year? manual or auto hubs? 2001 , crew cab, 4X4. manual hubs
Rotate the black center in the front wheel clockwise.

they are still on superduty trucks
Turn right or clock wise to lock hub and turn left or counter clockwise to unlock hub.
Amazon and eBay. But if you are a serious off-roader manual hubs are better
are you sure you have the hubs locked in? if automatic hubs then it probably needs manual hubs put in. You have to be stopped and transmission in neutral
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.
Methinks, 'you really r e a l l y don't want to do that!' Unless, someday when you push the button and want the auto hubs to engage, it really won't matter whether they do or not......
