I have a 96 ranger 4x4. The manual warn locking hubs lock when I jack up the front end and spin the tire, its locked, but today I got stuck because my fornt wheels would not pull at all. It was like I was only in 2 wheel drive, I had low range power but only rear wheels moving. Later on down the road I went to 4hi and could feel the front pull to the left a bit then it freed up again. Its like when the front end is under pressure it frees the wheels, but when I jack up the front end and lock the hubs the front drive shaft is turning & when put into 4 wheel, I cant turn the wheels by hand, the transfer case has the front end locked in.Wont lock while driving but in the air it works. Is it possible to spin locking hubs? I hear about auto hubs having trouble , but never hear of manual hub trouble, or could this be something else ?
