Ok, I noticed that in the Tracker manual it says not to leave your manual hubs locked when not in 4wd. I have done this for years on other vehicles with manual hubs and have never seen this warning before. We have been having sudden snow storms and it is nice just to engage 4wd when needed on a trip that it looks like 4wd will be needed. Do you guys leave your hubs locked when you leave and drive in 2wd till you need 4wd so you don't need to pull over and turn the hubs.

I would not do it for long trips. When trail riding, or riding around town in bad weather(45 mph and slower), I will leave my hubs locked in. But for everyday driving they stay unlocked and if they are needed I pull over and lock them in. Any manual lockout 4x4 owners manual will tell you not to leave them locked in when not in use. When their locked in it will spin everything in your front driveline back to the T-case, causing unnecessary wear and tare, lowered gas mileage and at high interstate speeds could realy mess up something.

Don't forget to add vibrations due to stock configuration was to be running free. On some newer models, like the Vitara and XL7, where there is a drive flange, the front axle and driveshaft are in constant motion when car is in motion. Running unlocked manual lockers would free up the front axle, providing some better mileage, adding life to the front axle and it's components.

I can't think of anything running the hubs locked
could damage, but why wear out the allready weak
CVs before their time, that and the loss of mileage.

I once forgot the hubs for about 2 or 3 months, till I
went to go wheeling and went to lock them, DOH !!
well my T-case is still fine and it was just last week
I changed the original CV from the Pass Side  ;)
