hmmm...I thought they made another, auto-only hub....I was interested in
THAT, but the problem is that the automatics require stopping to engage
the t-case, as the front driveshafts are not spinning.  I felt that the
"viscous" coupling would let me leave it in 4WD without worrying about
locking, unlocking, stopping or otherwise.  In fact, I was contemplating
getting rid of the locking hub arrangement and replace them with drive
flanges for that particular application...
