How do you engage a 4×4 on a Ford f250 Super Duty?

Engaging 4×4 on a Ford F250 Super Duty
To engage 4×4 on a Ford F250 Super Duty, follow these steps:
1. Stop the Truck and Put it in Neutral: The first thing you need to do is stop the truck. Once the truck is stopped, put it in neutral to remove the connection to the transmission.
2. Use the Drive Selector Knob: Once the vehicle is in neutral, use the drive selector knob in the truck to choose from 2wd, 4wd high, or 4wd low depending on the conditions.
3. Hubs Position: It does not matter what position the hubs are in or whether or not you’re moving. The auto uses a vacuum to hold the CV axles in place when 4wd is engaged, allowing for tight turning while in 4wd without any binding.
4. Engaging 4WD with Locked Hubs: If the vacuum in the hubs has a leak, you can still engage 4wd without stopping by switching the hubs to the lock position. The only difference is that the vacuum won’t be able to securely hold the CV axle, so the lock position provides a second option for engaging 4wd.
Remember, it’s important to be in a relatively flat area or an area where switching to 4×4 mode is feasible for your truck when engaging the four-wheel drive on a Ford F250.
