Blown Hubs?

[Blazn83]

I lost 4wd after the rear end blew (Had to use 4wd to move) Anyways, the rear end is fixed, and I jacked it up on all 4's to see whats going on. With out the truck running, I can turn the driver side hub freely. Its the stock auto hub, which I think its just not engaging because its a POS. The passenger side is a Warn manual hub. In lock it will some times engage, and sometimes not. (As in I will turn the wheel, and sometimes the driveshaft will spin) Then with the truck running in gear, in 4lo and 4hi, all you can hear is the passenger side hub making a clicking noise?

Umm, you need to replace the auto hub with a manual. The auto hubs are notorious for failing.

Also, if the auto hub is broken, the manual one may be okay ... instead of the driveshaft spinning, the driver's side halfshaft may be spinning in place.

Why in heaven's name do you have one auto and one manual hub?

bought it like that, previous owner said the pass side hub (auto) busted, so they just replaced it with a manual one.

I'd replace them both. $75 or so for a set of Warn Premiums is worth it, IMHO.
