stress is put on the rear axles because the front is idle and not helping to
pull. It's a chance you take with lockout hubs. The bad part is you have to
remove the broken axle and pieces, and stuff a rag in the end, otherwise you
do more damage >>
Excuuuuuuuse me: There is no difference in operating a 4WD truck in 2WD
either with or without lockout hubs. The mechanical reality is that the front
is not engaged, period. Your axles will have the same tendency to snap either
way. There is no reason to malign lockout hubs. a p b
