The last week of hunting season I locked my hubs in when I got to the cabin. Shortly after I noticed an intermittent humming like a metal on metal when in motion. It definitely does not happen when hubs are unlocked. I went to the gas station (6 miles away) halfway through our trip with hubs unlocked and no noise. When I got back to camp I locked in hubs and the intermittent hum came back... 4x4 never skipped a beat! On the way home (over 100 miles) hubs were unlocked and never made a sound. On a side note I replaced outer wheel bearings last year, packed them with grease but not the race.. I left the old one in place.
