Youtube is your friend.

This is a video on how to change the hubs on the 2004 and earlier trucks. If you have ESOF, just make sure you cap the vacuum lines.

Warn

I just Picked up a set of Warn hubs for my 2001 f-350 Dual RW truck. I then was reading the warn web site and it said that there hubs will not work in the dual application.
Is this correct?
Have any of you installed a man hub conversion to a Dual RW truck?

Received my MM hubs today, and put them on my 99 F250 SD in less than 5 minutes....took that long because I accidentally put both snap rings on one side before I looked and realized I had two of the spiral-style snap rings also...so, had to remove the first one and put the correct snap ring in place. Then, put the second one on and finished up quickly.

Now I just need some new center caps so they fit flush to the hubs...anyone know what year center caps will fit flush to the MM hubs and look sweet again???

I will purchase a set if anyone has two spares...or can trade mine for them...whatever...am in Wa State...

Get out in the rain / snow / mud?

How about just setting the hubs to LOCK before leaving the driveway, then IF you need 4x4 while out in the foul weather, you just simply shift into it and you do not have to get out. It certainly does not heurt anything to run with them locked. Some people LEAVE them locked all the time, tho I do not recommend it. But, when bad weather sets in, I just lock them, then no getting back out when I need it, and I just wait till I get home again to free them up, if I even do it then.

I finished the install/convention a few month ago, I love them! The only extra work is the on the DRW you have to pull the spacer on the front end to install the hubs. 16 nut on each side over 8 not a big deal to me.

I also used some nice brass plugs (1/4in I think) to seal the back side of the hubs and delete the vacuum input.

Replaced the OE hubs with mile marker's in 2010 on my 00 F350, got our first snow this week and found out the 4wd didn't work, Took the caps off the lockouts and found the fingers that rotate the hub were all broken off on the passenger side. Anyone know if MM has a replacement kit for these fingers. There is a snap ring that holds them in place, you would think there was a replacement kit for this. Thanks in advance.

Manual Hub Engage/Disengage Movement?

Here's the complete write up for anybody that is looking to do them. It's a 1.4 Meg MS Word document.

Super Duty Automatic to Manual Hub Conversion.doc

Old link: NOT WORKING: http://webpages.charter.net/rsilvano/Documents/Super%20Duty%20Automatic%20to%20Manual%20Hub%20Con version.doc
I just found this post. I have had the Warn heavy duty hubs for years. Sometimes it sounds like the drivers side hub does not fully disengage and I will hear a "popping" sound for a while. I have checked and cleaned/greased the hubs and swapped hubs from side to side but the problem stays on the drivers side. Any ideas?

I am wondering why you went with Mile Marker over Warn hubs? Was it mainly due to their price?
