1999 Ford F350 V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I just purchased a 1999 F350. It has a manuel 4X4 system. It does not show me which way the lock outs are to turn. Does the right turn to the left to lock. And does the left also turn to the left to lock.
There is nothing on the hub to indicate if they are locked or free.

Thanks, Bill

Clockwise to lock, counterclockwise to unlock.
If you look at the edge of the hub it should read "Lock" at one spot and "Free" in the other. If it's worn off you could always engrave F & L so you don't have to remember next time.
