The 6.0 I just bought has the WARN Free or Lock Hubs if thats what your talking about. I will be switching them back to Auto in the future. Call me lazy or whatever, but I like to turn the **** on the dash and for 4WD to work....

if you use your 4wd drive keep the Warns, take out the vacuum factor, solenoid, leaks, ect. and the rubbed off print on the oem hubs, and know your in 4WD when you need it, lock the front end up when you think mite need it, if not your just lubing the front diff.

Why do you think they are bad? They don't engage automatically or are hard to engage manually?
Auto not working is usually either a vacuum solenoid gone bad or leaking hub seal. Bad hubs will be hard to manually engage/disengage with the lever on the wheel.

I want the convenience of the auto locking hubs. Especially when you up in the mountains.

I got them here.

they failed me when I needed them most, more than 1 time, in the mountains, I got no problem getting out and locking them when I think I might need them, to each there own. and they were maintained.
