And no, Allen, they do not come out of 4x4 at 30 mph, the differential between the axles woks until you 'loc' it, then it behaves like a normal 4x4 when in 4x4.
Tannon, if it has front hubs, they are manual. And if it does have front hubs, that means that the full time aint, anymore. Somebody has put in a 'part time' kit. The biggest problem with them was that 'crow hopping' front end ate up front tires. My b-in-law used to get 100,000 on his rears, but only 30,000 on his fronts. But it did used to corner on hard pavement pretty good for a 3/4t truck.
The 'crow hopping' was caused by the u-joint style front end knuckles, instead of the constant velocity type. The jumping around was entertaining in parking lots, and hard on the transfer case chain as well as the tires.
