I was thinking it was a working unit, or at least intended to be.It is SUPPOSED to do all that. If everything is in perfect working order, it does. But there is no switch in the hubs to provide feedback that they are engaged. You can remove the wheels, remove the hubs, even remove the spindles and axle shafts. Then get in the truck and engage 4-hi or 4-lo and the dash lights will come on, while the hubs are sitting on your workbench. The dash lights only indicate the status of the transfer case. The automatic hubs, especially the vacuum operated ones have a reputation for not working properly. The only way you know is whether your front wheels are really pulling or not. That’s why many of us prefer the manual hubs. They are more positive acting and more reliable.
My apology sir
