I don't have manual hubs on my '94 Dodge. It's a vacuum actuator kit you can buy or build for any 4X4 with vacuum activated front hubs.
What size gasser was that? I'm considering manual lockup on my 6.0 Chevy with 4L60E as I can't stand the "tow haul" mode.
Another option to the vacuum interrupt is the posi-lok cable actuated unit. It removes the vacuum actuator on the CAD on the front axle and replaces it with a cable with handle in the cab (kinda like a cable actuated choke). Clicky
My '97 was a 350ci/4L60E, so it was pre-tow/haul. A little too much throttle and the TC would just unlock, and it wasn't much extra throttle. I added the switch, selected 3rd on the shifter and once I got up to speed I'd flip the switch to lock the TC earlier and hold it longer. Was also nice to be able to manually select 2nd and lock the TC there on the steeper hills.
