I have a 1999 Ford F250 Superduty 4x4. It has the shift-on-the-fly automatic engaging 4x4 system. Long story short, it is broken. The current system has a fall back mode. The hubs have two positions, auto and lock. If I manually move them to lock and move the switch on my dash to 4x4 then I am in 4x4. But the mechanic says that these hubs are getting to be crap and should be replaced. He says I can replace my OEM auto hubs with a manual hub (the one with two positions, free and lock, Ford or Warn for example) and I will be fine. IE I will have to move the hubs by hand but the switch on the dash will still cause the 4x4 to engage. Is this going to work?
Thanks, Jeff
