Ok, I need some new hubs for my 2004 F250. What does everyone like and where should I get them? Just looking fo rht ebest bang for the buck...

 

I think your choices are Warn and MM.

 

MM? I know Warn, but is MM an abreiavation for something?

 

"Mile Marker" is most likely what redford meant.

 

I had a set of Warn put on my 03 F250. Manual hubs. I like them. There easy to turn and the chrome on them goes good with the lug nut cover ;-)

 

I need to get a new set for my truck, and I have vacuum hubs. Will Warn manual hubs fit in place of the autos? Who sells them, and how much?

 

I've been shopping for hubs recently. You can get them from Amazon for like 172 with free super saver shipping. 38826 should be the part number for the premium ones. The one shown in the picture above is the standard model, I don't know how much you'd expect to pay for that, probably like 150 or less. The mile marker hubs I didn't care for too much. I actually returned them because one hub was machined wrong and didn't fit in the wheel hub. They were kinda hard to grab, turned ok but not great. The actually gave you this little plastic handle to help you turn them. Most sites will advertise they have a 3/4 turn, but it is actually 1/4 turn. They are available from summit for 150 or so.

 

Will they slip in, in place of the auto hubs?

 

ya they will thats what the guy said when he installed them. they are manual. no vacuum lines or anything have to be hooked up.

 

There is a great set of instructions with picures, in the tech folder, on how to remove your automatic hubs and replace them with manual hubs.

 

My hubs say "Auto/Lock", does that mean that in "Auto" my hubs lock automatically when I switch into 4WD and that I can manually lock them if I turn them to "Lock"?

 

This is correct if you have the 4wd switch on the dash.

 

Thanks riggz

 

Mike11c...it is a good idea to lock in your hubs once a month and drive a couple of miles to keep everything lubricated.

 

LOL, I guess that's a good reason to go 4 wheeling. Do you think my wife will buy it?
