Auto Locking Hubs 2002

[nvrsunk02]

Guys, noticed some wheel noise on the front of the 2002 extended cab 4x4 I just bought. Just put on new 265/75/16 AT's, and had a full alignment. Not sure if it is just tire noise or something worse. Chiltons says the bearings on this are sealed and shouldnt need servicing. Did notice that when I jack up the front and spin either tire that the front driveshaft spins also. Should that be happening? Not sure how an automatic hub works. Thanks!

You have no locking hubs at all, they are live spindles (axle is always connected).

Normal.
Mid-'00 they went to that design.

Any rubbing with those 265/75/16's? They fit okay?

I havent taken it offroad yet, but no rubbing durring regular driving. However, they do rub a little if I turn the wheel all the way. They look great though. Ill send a pic if you want tommorrow. No lift yet.
