when 4x4 is engaged front drive shaft turns but not turning front wheels .if it is my hubs how do i check and can i change them to manual hubs?

If you do a search, you'll get many many answers.

If the DS is turning, the hubs are likely the problem. You can convert to Warn manual hubs, but will need an adapter (also from Warn I think) Good luck

dont be so quick to say its the hubs, dont forget the front diff is open, so not both sides must spin.

Ditch the crappy auto hubs.....

410 but most likely it's his hubs.

Switch to manuals. Both manual hubs cost the same as one auto.

Also there is someone on this board that buys old auto hubs and rebuilds them, you might be able to sell them to him??

410 is correct that you really only have one front wheel that drives, because you have a open differiental in the front, so you might have just been looking at the worng wheel. It is definately better to go with manual hubs, that way you know for sure that whey are ingaged. This is a fairly inexpensive operation and you can do this yourself.
