I noticed the other day that when I tried to lock the front hubs, The hub on the drivers side turned almost one complete turn the one on the passenger side only turned about a half a turn.
It seemed to be locked in when I drove through a muddy spot I found Should I be concerned? Both sides used to turn the same amount before I changed the gears in the front end(went from a 3:31 to a 4:27)
thanks.

First thing I would do is get a can of brake cleaner, or similar, and clean all the grease buildup off the inside of that hub area. They should only have a light coating of oil on them at most. I had a problem with the warn hubs on my one axle not locking and sent an e-mail to Warn asking about it. They replied with what to do to clean them and also sent me a replacement spring kit for them. Go to their website and ask for a replacement spring kit. It free. Just tell them what kind you have (internal or external)
