4x4 hubs
just a quick question, i've never owned a truck with the 4x4 locking hubs, is it ok to leave the hubs locks and run in 2wd? or should i always unlock them when running in 2wd? I'm used to my trailblazer..just click the switch over and voila..lol

it's fine to run it with the hubs locked I used to leave them locked in all winter when I had manuals just so I didn't have to keep getting out of the truck. your mileage will suffer with them locked in all the time though.

Its actually good to drive with the hubs locked in every once in a while, especially if you don't use 4x4 often. It keeps everything greased up and working.
