I have read some awful, awful things about auto hubs... only work when you don't need them and fail when you do.

Rocking back and forth "stuck" can make them autos engage /disengage
not a good idea with spinning wheels

never had any problems on the 84 i had and it had a million miles on it. unless your doing some kind of severe offroading i dont see it being a problem. that said a new truck has no hub selector only thing goes out has nothing to do with the fact there locked. so i cant see it being a harm to leave em locked.
