Yup most say that. I have also converted many trucks with auto t cases to manual hubs and not had any issues other than then sticking inside the case. This why I suggested lubrication

I have to ask why change them out? This will be my first winter with my esof setup in a SD. They still have a manual option or are the sticker just not that good evens manually locked? Seems a guy could just disable the vac setup and use them.

Yup, just manually lock from auto and block off the vacuum line to the hubs and you have the same thing. No need to replace, I don't belie pave their is a totally manual version from MM or Warn for 2005 and up anyway.

Yeah, but warn doesn't make a hub replacement for the 2005 - 2007 hub do they? They don't fit in our larger hub, they fit in the 2004 and earlier? Added benefit is 4 low in 2 wheel as me2 states, pretty slick for backing those trailers up steep driveways and stuff. If yours are jammed up, then yo got to get them out somehow, the tech folder has the complete disassembly and greasing instructions, it's doable to save $200 a side, that's a US price, more like 400 per side here in the great white north.
Prices suck up here.

When I was changing u joints the other weekend pulled the hub off and a bunch of little plastic pieces came out with the hub they also wouldn't lock in auto when put in 4hi. I also would just like to have the manual hubs over the autos if I'm going to replace them.

I don't think so and I think the mile marker ones I found on xdp website think that is only to 96. So far the only true manual hub I found was a ford one. Someone correct me if I'm wrong would really like to know if there are others out there
