Or go find an american made part. Just saying. We don't need to be sending any more business to china.

 

Sorry for the hijack. Glad you got it figured out op

 

Here we go again.... Its not about buying american. Its about spending the ammount of money for any part. Meaning, I wouldnt spend $150 just to have an american made part for a single hub. If money is no object, then buy the warns. If you like having more in your pockets and the name brand doesnt mean anything, go cheap then.

 

I respectfully desagree. Especially in this economy we should ALL be buying american. And not feeding the communist beast. There are plenty of people in OUR looking for work. And
Buying cheap chinese crap does none of US any good. Are the american made products more expensive? Sure. That's because our workers don't work for 3 grains of rice an hour.





(Steps down off of soap box)

 

Stepping on the soap box............Listen to Don Trump, China is trying to take over and they are starting to apply all their expertise to military arms now.

 

I'm wondering where my OEM's are made

ah, could it be Mexico!

 

For some people, it is.

Lets keep this on topic guys, and not stray too far into a "General Non-Automotive Conversation" because we do have a forum for that!

Put the Mile Markers and the Warns side by side, feel the way that the Warns operate and you will understand

 

See, thats what I was never able to do. Yes, if I had them side by side, I too, might feel differently. Treker, I guess you have had them both in your hands? I guess I am bias because I have mile markers.

 

You know what they say, if you're happy with what ya got, that's all that matters!

its funny how the masses say "buy american" if they only knew where 90% of our truck parts were made......

 

Hmmm, how bout' it.

 

Last chance guys. Keep this hot button topic out of this thread.

Start a thread in the general discussion forum if you feel that strongly about it.

Not saying that the Mile Markers are junk, if they were I am sure the word would be out and no one would be buying them. I just feel that the Warns are a bit better build wise. Haven't run the Mile Markers just seen them and wasn't that impressed, but as Stewart said people like different things. Where I live(on the mountain)there are alot of those little Toyota's and Subaru's that I would like to run over but what the hell they(owners) like them

 

So my MM's came to the house today, installed today (the install was actually so simple that it threw me off for a couple minutes). Can't comment on their effectiveness yet but will say I am already happier with them than the stockers. The esof system is an awesome idea on paper but was just never quite right. Had 3 vacuum leaks due to a cracked line, a connector that would come off the nipple because I guess over time the rubber wore out and was no longer tight (electric tape repair) and a leak inside the solenoid behind the battery. So I'll just take 15 seconds and lock em in. Also, the look and feel of the stockers somewhat shocked me. They are very lite weight and just felt hollow if that makes sense, also the drivers side sort of clicked when you turned the inner spindle, but the passenger side turned smoothly, that is likely a sign that it was bad or going bad. Will put them to the test in a couple weeks when I go to NY either in the snow or off road when I go hunting up there. The ONLY bad thing is that they don't stick out as far as the stock ones and now the plastic covers look bad. I can live with that.
