How much cost would I look at if I were to replace my autos on my 93 F150? They work fine, but you guys have me scared now.

the warm standards can be had for like $80 and the premiums i think are more like $120-150 depending on where you go.

and the job takes less than an hour with the right tools and a decent idea of whats going on

i personally suggest milemarker hubs b/c they look bling bling but i am just partial i guess. plus they were a lil cheaper than the warn premimums. i got mine for right at $100

What are drive flanges? Explain? I have always installed Mile Marker or Warn manuals on my trucks, except current F150 I have done no drivetrain mods on it. When I get an F350 it will get manual locking hubs right away.

18 years and three moves later, I think I still have those in a box.

Drive flanges, slugs, etc etc are doughnut shaped pieces of steel with outer splines that engage the wheel hub and inner teeth that engage the axle splines, locking the wheel hub to the axle.

Bomb proof but the front drivetrain is always being spun when the front wheels are in motion.

YES

I prefer the kind with the separate ring so you can pull the slug and put sealing cap back on.
