#3 of 4 I've a 1992 Auto Lock Hubs 4x4 and...... by darth_venom Sep 23, 2008 (7:50 pm)
It's the best most dependable 4wd I've ever owned. In fact if it weren't for the dependability & ruggedness of the 4x4 unit I would have been stranded for 3 months or so when my U joints on my rear driveshaft went out. I drove around in 4wd H for those 3 months up to 55 mph with my rear driveshaft assembly removed for repair. This was 3 years ago and still no problems with the 4wd.   As to your problem I agree with post above that it sounds like one of your hubs isn't locking properly and you should go to manual locking hubs if you use the 4wd frequently. The other option is to diagnose which hub is giving you the trouble, disassemble inspect and replace any worn parts as necessary.

Replying to: xntriklytwzted (May 12, 2008 6:34 pm) Whats up- I also have a '92 Rodeo 3.1L V6 5 speed with manually locking front hubs and suprisingly the same sized tires. When I got her the 4x4 had never been used, but I took her out A LOT and the 4x4 works really well. I've never had a problem with the hubs either and I usually air my tires down a little for romping- just for better traction. The reason you only manually lock the front is because when it is not engaged in 4WD it is a RWD SUV. OG rigs have them... they're better for off roading too. I believe what you're experiencing is a combination of IFS and your 4 could be blown. I'm not too sure but you should research into that more. Do your tires have enough tread and sidewall on them? You might just need new tires.
