Default 4x4 automatic hubs ?....

These trucks with the auto hubs, does the transfer case and the front end turn all the time ?.....

And also, guess they have a button inside to put it in 4x4, how do these things work ?.....

Was just wondering I have thought about getting a newer truck but everything Ive seen has the auto hubs in it...
And I like the lock n lock out hubs myself...lol..thanks

Yea I'm with you on the manual hubs...I like knowing its locked in. And I believe the transfer case does not spin all the time...there is a vacuum actuator that engages it when you put it 4x4....someone correct me if I'm wrong. And as far as the button 4x4 goes only some trucks came with it, you can get one with a floor shift.

10-4, I know when I have my hubs locked in the front driveshaft turns and when I lock it out the fr driveshaft dont turn anymore....
This is what I was also wanting to know about the auto hubs if the front driveshaft turned on them no matter if you are in 4 wheel drive or not ??.....

Sorry guys, but Ive never owned a truck with automatic hubs...this is why I dont no anything about them or how it all works....

Can someone shine some info on this for me ?....
