Im looking for info on getting new front hubs for my 03 F350 FX4 with V10 and manual locking hubs. Ive checked out RockAuto. but dang there is alot to choose from. and I cant figure out if my truck is two our 4 wheel ABS? anyone have any ideas.

 

Your truck is 4wheel abs and on my 03 I went with the standard warn hubs because I like the quarter turn to lock and unlock and I like the black and chrome look of them. I dont like the gold color of the warn premiums.

 

Thanks! I hate chrome though

 

As far as price goes I just bought mine at stockwiseauto, they were less than rockauto. Later I found the same item on amazon for $10 less than stockwiseauto I didn't replace the locking hub so don't know about best price on those if thats all your doing.
I sent a mild complaint to stockwiseauto about no new knuckle studs and they credited me about another $20 so I'm pretty impressed with there cust serv but I think you will still need to order those and the inner yellow o-ring to do the job.

As to the abs just look behind the dust sheild on the front hubs. If in addition to the brake line and vacum line you see a third line attached to the hub it's abs all around.

 

Dont waste your money on the warns. Get Superwinch hubs. Good quality hub. I have them on every truck I own including my 03 Superduty. You need Superwinch model# 400439 for your truck.

 

First negative I've heard about Warns. Care to explain?

 

I just put Warn premiums on my truck today...well one side at least. Forgot i had somewhere to be Done with the ESOF crap, ill enjoy just locking my hubs in and not worrying about them kicking out

 

I guess I should rephrase. Warns are decent. But for around the same amount of money you could buy a set of Superwinch hubs that come with a lifetime free replacement. You break one, they'll give you another one. Although I have Never broke a superwinch hub. I have broken a few Warn hubs over the years. And some have allowed water to seep in. Never had a Superwinch leak on me. Its a heavyduty dependable hub. I have a F-350 so I might as well get a heavyduty hub. Just my 2 cents

 

I guess i should have been i little more clear. I meant the Hub Bearings. not just the lockers.

 

Oh. Get the timken ones, made in USA

 

Yes Timkins are the way to go. Napa ones are good ones too.

 

Timkins come with the new o ring and four new studs....unless someone stole them from the box at autoparts store. Check the box!!!!! I just put new hub bearings on mine, and I went through 6 boxes before I found two bearings with those parts still in the box.
