What you are saying is true, that is if you have the transfer case that is the knob (which is the All-mode 4x4 on just LE models) and not the lever. I dont know the type of transfer case the All-mode is, but the manual lever one is a TX10 i do believe. Other members have mentioned about the 4x4 light coming on on the dash, but ive never had this happen. if it is a concern just lock the hubs if going on long distance trips. ive had my hubs for a while now and drive with them unlocked most of the time, but WARN says that once a month you should lock them and drive around just to make sure everything mechanically is still working, and lubricated. But now that i say that, i know this week my 4x4 dash light will come on,
