Well what i was talking about is not converting the bearings but rather just converting the factory auto hubs to warn manual hubs which for the premiums will cost you about $180 and that includes both sides so replace one hub for $270 and wait for the other one to go out or replace both for $180 and not worry about it again. The warn hubs are a bolt on they don't take any converting actually.
I am sure the $1600 conversion you are talkng about is the one that changes the entire knuckles and does away with the sealed unit bearings and go to the older style servicable bearings that can be repacked and actually that is probably worth it to even at that price although I am still researching to figure out if it's possible somehow to do it cheaper than that although so far I haven't figured out a way.

how much would it hurt my fuel economy to have the hubs locked, in 2wd. the road conditions change a lot when it snows here in MA some roads can be covered in snow while the pike will cleared to were I wouldn't need 4wd.
