Locking hub conversion???
Well, this is it! My buddy and I are going to attempt to change my auto hubs to Manual this weekend. I got a set of Warn's.
Somebody told me that I might need to change the gear in the Transfer case like they had to on a GM. Does anybody know if this is the case?
Also, the guy at the parts store said I would need a "Conversion Kit", Is this true?
Thanks

How many screws hold on your Auto Hubs if it is 5 screws you DO NOT need a "Conversion Kit" 3 Screws you need the conversion kit, I change to warns a year ago man these things are awesome money well spent, dont know why you have to change
the gear in the transfer case never heard of this

I didn't have to chande any gears.
As far as the conversion kit, it depends on which auto-hubs you had. Mine is a '95, so right on the auto-hub there are (3) screws holding the cap on. If this is what you have you will need the kit. I also wound up buying a few special tools to make it much easier, however I have since found you can rent these tools. Do a search on this site, you will find comprehensive instuctions, pics., and other info.
good luck

There's your pre-'95 conversion guide. And, no, there's nothing to be done to the xfer case. This conversion should take you about 20 minutes.
