what was dodge thinking when they decided to get rid of locking hubs have you ever had to go knee deep in mud to find the f@#!! hubs to engage 4 wheel drive personally i prefer to have slightly increased consumption in order to have almost instant 4x4 availability than to have the added complication of the locking hubs. again thats me... and by the way in greece we re paying about 45$ per gallon for some years now... oil will not be cheap for some time so get used to the idea... .
