Only way you can really tell is by taking them apart. The auto hubs in those years weren't a very good design. Those hubs engage with centrifugal force. When the front axle spins, the hubs lock. If you are already stuck with the rear wheel spinning, even if you wait until they quit spinning and engage the 4x4, once the front axle spins and locks the hubs it can and will break the internals of the hubs. I have seen this 1st hand when I worked at the dealership.

Look at the splines see if they are chewed up. Look at the axle shaft splines see if they are chewed up and damaged. That is a very good sign that the hubs are not working. Being that the hubs are softer metal then the axle shafts usually what happens is, the hub splines strip out. Which allows the axle shaft to spin but not putting any power to the wheels. My suggestion is just convert to the warn premium manual hubs. If you are worried your auto hubs are not working properly. That is a sure fix. |

If your hubs were popping the last time you used 4wd. Then your hubs are bad. Now if you do not have the money for replacement hubs. I maybe able to help you out. If someone can tell us if the hubs from a 95 F-150 will work on your truck. I have a set of factory auto hubs at my dads. They are still good. All the parts are there. If you want them I can go get them this weekend. You pay shipping I will send them to you. But I suggest you find out if they will work first.
