How to fix Ford Superduty 4WD hubs problem?

Check my video for how to do this in detail. You will completely bypass the electronics of the 4wd system and apply direct vacuum to your hubs. If you have no leaks in the vacuum lines that go out to your hubs from the solenoid, then the vacuum pump should shut off in under 45 seconds (once it fully pressurizes).

What happens in 4WD with hubs disengaged?

In 4WD with hubs disengaged front drive shaft, front diff and front axle, rear drive shaft, rear diff and rear axle are rotating. Front tires are rolling along (the transfer case makes the front drive line parts rotate, but since the wheels are disconnected the power flow does not reach the tires) – rear tires are pulling.

Do you need to unlock your hubs before shifting to 4WD?

Lock them as needed for 4WD operation (doesn’t matter whether you lock them before you shift into 4WD or right after) and unlock them when going back to 2WD (again, doesn’t matter whether you unlock them before shifting out of 4WD or right after). Leaving them locked while in 2WD will have no negative effects.

Why are the hubs on my Ford Superduty not working?

This means you have a vacuum leak or your vacuum pump is not functioning (again this should be very obvious if it’s not, test the vacuum with your finger over an active line, it should suck air). To force your hubs to engage just spin the manual locking hubs to “LOCKED”.

Why does my 4 wheel drive not engage?

Basically, The IWE requires constant vacuum pressure to keep the drivetrain in 2wd mode. Once there is a leak the pressure is lost and the hub will “dislocate” and attempt to engage 4H. If there is a leak or only partial vacuum pressure loss, the Hub won’t fully engage.

Do you leave locking hubs disconnected when off road?

An often overlooked draw back is that hubs stick out and can get damaged when off-road. Hub components are usually cast aluminum that break easily. A broken hub could leave you stranded in the back country. So, what should you do? I would recommend that you leave your locking hubs disconnected when there is no need for 4WD in sight.
