Does a Ford F250 4X4 have locking hubs or is it shift on the fly?

I have a 2005 which does have locking hubs, but that is so you can lock your differential from slipping. If you're stuck on a hill with all 4 wheels spinning, lock the hubs and your gear ratio is far apart, your front wheels won't spin, and the front wheels will actually do the pulling.
Whether yours has locking hubs depends on the year of F250. Later F250's, I believe beginning with the 1998 models, do have auto-locking / manual hubs. The later F250 hubs can be activated manually or electronically. When you electronically turn on the 4wd ("shift-on-the-fly"), you engage the transfer case, front drive shaft, and front axle shafts. Also, when you electronically turn on the 4wd you activate a vacuum solenoid, which provides a vacuum source to each of your front hubs to engage them. The front hubs only connect the front wheels to the front axle shafts and has nothing to do with the front axle differential, which is an open differential unless you have a differential other than the factory installed piece.

Is a 2001 ford f250 xlt 4x4 shift on the fly?
It is Shift on the Fly but it has manual hubs. So you can put in it 4x4 in the cab but would have to get out to engage the hubs. So what i do is when i think i am going to need the 4x4 i lock the hubs before hand. Having the hubs unlocked reduces ware on the front drive tran and betters the MPG

If your truck has manual locking hubs you will have to manual turn them and then shift the shifter into the 4x4. But make sure you do not leave your locking hubs locked for everyday driving. It can tear them up. Also in 4wd your gas mileage will go down and it will be harder to stear, this is normal.
