When I shift into 4 wheel drive, the 4x4 light comes on but I can tell I am still in 2 wheel drive. Truck has manual hubs and they are locked. The left side hub, however, will not unlock. I can not turn it to the free position. The other hub will unlock and lock. No recent work or changes on the truck.

Hi matsierra,

The left wheel hub seems to be the cause of the problem. You need to disassemble it to check why it is stuck.

Possibly due to lack of lubrication internally and it has seized.
