Have a 01 f250 4x4 with v-10 was looking to replace factory hubs. what are your opinions on the mile marker 449s/s hubs for the superdutys? have read needing a instalation kit also some say it is not needed - is it needed? thanks Dennis

 

I ordered some from amazon, should be here on the 23rd, will let you know after I install them that evening

 

thanks smiley87 also found a good deal at advance auto just trying to get some feed back thanks

 

I'm looking at the 459 S/S myself. Most guys say they're pretty good.

 

You don't need the install kit...

 

No install kit needed. I ran them on my 2002 for 5 years or so and they never had any issues.

 

No kit needed. I have run them for 4 years or so, and am happy with them.
One of mine got very hard to unlock, and MM sent me a new hub. I took the old hub apart, and slightly shortened the detent spring that holds the locking ball (that locks the hub in or out). Very easy, and the hub now locks/unlocks smoothly. Unlike the Ford autohubs, they are not rocket science inside, so they were easy to tweak.

 

thanks for the info on the hubs appreciate it. Dennis

 

Weird problem I am having.

Both milemarker hubs fit in my drivers side so I know it's not a bad milemarker hub, but neither will go into my passenger side.

Now looking through my paperwork from previous owner I show passenger front hub replacement done in 2014. Is it possible I need the install kit for just that 1 hub? Why would that be? This is driving me nuts.

 

Any ideas before I send these back to amazon?

 

Did you turn it around?

(Just kidding)

I don't think there is a left and a right hub. Are you sure that there isn't something on the passenger side preventing the hub from going in?

 

I am honestly stumped, the passenger side looks exactly like the drivers side, but neither hub will go in, its almost like the grooves don't line up, but the oem auto lock hubs slide right in on both sides.

 

crazy, but I finally got the hub in just as I was about to pack them back up and send back. I am now in business.

 

Weird issue but glad you got it figured out..

 

Had same problem trying to install. Called MM, they really helpful. Attach cover to the guts with a couple of the bolts and then try to insert. Don't know why it worked, but popped right in.
