So that being said it brings up this question...Why would you want to have the front axle fully engaged running the driveline all the time? Who cares about having to get out and have to lock hubs?

Can you actually disengage those axles with a mod at the hubs? Does Warn make a kit? ...I'll be back after more fact finding. It does not make any sense to me..

My understanding is that the front two are locked when in 4 x 4 -- that's why you don't want to drive on dry pavement with 4 x 4 engaged.

I'd check to make sure you dont have manual locking hubs on the front of the truck. I'd bet you do and they were not locked it.
My 2012 Ram 2500 will lock up the front dif ONLY in 4L and when it locks it a huge pain is in the butt as it makes turning the truck a challenge.
