Temporary Front Hubs?
I posted a want add over in the market place already, but I thought that I'd ask around here as well.
I'm looking for a pair of front locking hubs from a 99-04 truck (I believe that those are the years that will fit). They don't even need to function. Maybe someone has a pair of broken ones laying around?
I have a broken Warn hub in my 2002 rig. I need to send the pair back to Warn for warranty. I'm looking for something to put in their place so that I can continue to drive while my broken ones make the trip to Oregon and back.

You can remove the hub and still drive the truck. I had mine at Ford one time years back and someone removed one and I didn't even know it till I got home. I went back and they had to order me a new one. I drove it a week before it came in.

I agree that it probably isn't such a bad thing to do some driving without the hubs in. However, at higher speeds, I've heard several horror stories.
I posted a thread addressing this question directly a couple of months ago:

The general consensus seems to be that driving without the hubs in should be avoided.

I had a hub locked by a shop some years ago and didn't release the damage was, destroyed the hub, needle roller , and hub , the cost was a weeks wages, so i guess you should buy some or borrow some hubs .
