A buddy of mine does competition sled pulls, and he's pushing well over 1000tq with them - he hasn't had a failure (yet) with them.
Can't argue with that too much.

They seem to to well but only about 5% of them are in use so it's kind of like saying a product is great that doesn't have much history or background. Don't forget Warn makes the stock hubs.

Probably only 5% of the hubs in use including since they starting using OEM hubs are and have been Warns so while you hear about how sturdy and great they are, the 95% of working OEM hubs aren't even mentioned. Everything that gets that kind of abuse will break or wear out eventually. I'm not talking about the automatic engagement system (esof) that needs more upkeep. I'll never get Warns especially with all the OEM take-offs laying around. I know you sold yours for a lot but you got lucky there.

My factory hubs still work fine at 95k miles, the 4.88 axle waiting to go in has Warns. I plan to swap my auto hubs over to the new axle when it goes under the EX. I don't drive it in the snow/salt, it's main job is pulling the TT and boat and I like the simplicity (of use) of the factory system.
