Is there a way to lock the hubs on a Ford PowerStroke?
Yes, both hubs lock. the dash knob is just a vacuum operated way of locking the hubs to the end of the axle and also shifts the transfer case. just locking the hubs manually does not put you in 4×4 becasue it does not shift the transfer case (the magic knob on the dash does that too).

How does the front wheel lock on a Ford truck?
This required you to get out and physically turn a knob on the front wheel hubs to lock the wheel and the axle shaft together. Then in the late 1980’s, Ford began offering automatic locking hubs that did not require you to lock them by hand. Ford eventually used an actuator, that locks the wheel and axle shaft together when needed.
Is it possible to UN-engage auto locking hubs?
As for the auto hubs if you are going in reverse it is possible to un-engage a wheel depending which wheel has the most traction and for driving forward is I believe the opposite. Manually locking of the hubs locks them to the axel but then unless you have a limited slip or a locking diff you are still spinning the tire that has the least traction.
