ok front hubs on those go bad. its normal problem on that model. You absolutely can use the 4wd the WHOLE TIME as long as you are OFFROAD. What good is 4wd if you are already stuck? Doesnt it make sense to avoid stuck? This is why I hate woman service advisors. Those hubs, if its just the hubs are easy as fuck to replace by the way.

I was told the 4x4 locked up because it had no lubrication from not being engaged. Also everyone says that it's bad for 4x4's to be in mud and sand but damnit it's so boring to not do it lol. Everytime I drive down a backroad I'll see this huge field with dirt and mud everywhere. I mean the biggest reason I bought the truck was for that purpose. Then I put a 2.5" leveling kit on it, eagle off road rims, and A/T tires (mud grapplers were too much $$$) so my truck is going to learn to take it like a champ.

Obviously you didn't read my post. It's also obvious the guy that started this thread was referring to "4-high". Only an idiot would attempt to drive around normally in "4-low" anyway.
Your description of the different types of 4 & AWD was pretty good.
Your last paragraph was the exact same thing I said......other than the fact yours was more long winded, and took longer to type.

Yeah 4-Hi onry lol.
And I wasn't referring to driving it on 4x4 hi on pavement, I'm talking in sand or mud. I've had numerous people tell me you don't engage it till you're stuck but like someone said...thats just stupid. Needless to say I'm getting this bad boy done within the next month or so. Then its time to do it all over again.

I engage 4WD Hi whenever I'm off pavement.
In the rain, I'll sometimes use the Auto 4WD. You can really tell when the front wheels hook up.

if your problems are the hubs.....get manuals. i know someone already said this, and yes they are a pain when you do your brakes. . . .but i would NEVER have anything else. i got 2 trucks, i converted one to manual hubs and the other already had 'em. besides the simple reason that you KNOW when they are working or not/when they are engaged or not, they are super tough.
-that woman is just feedin you whatever bs she can. . .that's what they (service people) are paid to do.
-you can drive around in 4 wheel off pavement
-get rid of those auto hubs.

i thought i read he had an f2. not f1. ifs is beat. "but side2000, f2's came from fact w/ manual hubs"--95% of them DO come with manual hubs, but they offer auto hubs for those willing to pay for it, and think getting out of truck is more than they (as rich men) should do. and ford recovery man you gotta pull that dildo out yer ass. you arent the smartest 4x4 man in world, nor are you the most experienced. runnin' around harshly patronizin' people is childish and naive.
