1. I have a 1988 Ford Bronco 5.0 XLT with automatic engaging hubs. The other day I noticed the hubs hot, almost to the point I wouldn't bear to touch it. This happened after a short one mile drive. I had to disassemble the driver side hub about a month ago to remove the rusted out splash shield and it looked well lubricated and immaculate. Before you guys think it was assembled incorrectly, both sides get equally hot and I never touched the passenger side hub. Could this be caused by bad U-joints? Normal? I am changing the U-joints in August.
2. My second problem is hesitation to start and engine RPM dropping below normal when cruising and my foot is off the gas. When this happens I can feel a bit of engine braking suddenly but for a short second then returns to normal RPM. I just did a full tune up, clean the throttle plates and replaced the TPS and IAC valve and this is still happening (however much improvement). Today the ABS light came on, but I doubt it is relevant to that problem.
3. A few days ago after waiting at a drive through I let my foot off the brake and before going to the throttle I noticed that the truck isn't even moving without my foot on the brake (yes yes it was in gear
