I don't think the older ones were intended to. I think the manual states a top speed of 45mph.

So, if I want my front axle to pull me thru anything, I have to lock the manual hubs! I "thought" that if I enguaged the transfer case, with the hubs unlocked, that I would have at least one front wheel pulling, kinda like 3 wheel drive. Thanks for the help, now if I could just find an owners manual.

That's a lot of mass and a lot of wear. This is a PART-time 4wd system. Look at the "bearings" on the low speed loaded gear shafts. I drive in 2wd until I'm almost stuck. I never had a problem with my autohubs unlocking once engaged, in rocking maneuvers, reversing, or anything, but I carry a pair of manual hubs along, JIC. Not responsible for advice not taken...

I like them so much I picked up a spare pair NOS as well as a repacking kit.
