Default Vaccum 4x4

Hello everyone, my first time posting, Give you a lil back ground
I have 24yrs as a mechanic, I've working on mostly fords
Mostly fleet work, I don't have a lot of experience with 4x4
except its way fun

I have a friend that has a 1999 Ford ranger that needs the outer vacuum hub cover, If we replace them for the manual locking, Will the 4x4 still work from the dash switch? That of course is if the hubs are locked.
Thanks for the help and the great site

Yes from what I've read on here it will work as long as the hubs are locked
