What else can I help you with?
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.
Is it okay to leave hubs on the 4wheel drive in lock position all the time?
It is ok to leave your hubs locked in depending on how far you want to go. I myself live on a mountainside and normally leave mine locked in when I stay near home going to town or something like that. When I hit any amounts of interstate I make it a rule of thumb that when I hit interstate the hubs are unlocked. It will decrease you fuel mileage I have noticed as well. You will be OK leaving it locked in around home but not all the time.
Is it okay to leave hubs in lock position at all time?
No, leaving the hubs locked will cause both front tires to spin at the same rate. When going around corners (on dry pavement), the inside tire is supposed to turn at a slower rate than the outside tire. If the hubs are left locked, you will destroy the axle.

If the weather is dry is it okay to leave your hubs locked in case you need to switch to 4 wheel drive?
You can keep your hubs locked if you wish. Or, you can leave the transfer case in gear if you want. You can't do both. ,,,,,,,,,,,,, Reason to realese the hubs and case: because you are using power and fuel to run parts that are not needed, Its A waste.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Reason you cannot leave in 4X4 all the time: You notice that the vehicle slowes down when you turn the steering wheel? Well, That's the drivetrain binding up from massive stress on the gears and other parts because the tires are not traveling in an equal distance.

How do lock out hubs on a 4 wheel drive work?
The hubs lock the axel to the hub, which drives the wheel. With the transfer case in 2WD, the rear driveshaft drives the rear wheels. Without front hubs, in 2WD, as the front tires roll, they spin the axles and the front driveshaft. With lock out hubs, in 2WD and the hubs unlocked only the tires spin. However, in 4WD if you forget to lock the hubs, only the driveshafts and axles spin. When I lived in MI, in the winter I always kept my hubs "locked", this way I could shift into 4WD whenever I needed to without getting out in the cold to "lock" the hubs.
How do you shift into 4wd on 1996 Toyota Tacoma?
If your truck has manual locking hubs you will have to manual turn them and then shift the shifter into the 4x4. But make sure you do not leave your locking hubs locked for everyday driving. It can tear them up. Also in 4wd your gas mileage will go down and it will be harder to stear, this is normal.

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.
