I know what your looking for, but I cant find it. I used it and it was good. And superduty does utilize vacume operated hubs.

Yes, SDs DO use vac hubs, but this is the Big Bronco forum, and our trucks DON'T use vac operated hubs...

Someone on the F-150 bought the rebuil kit, it costed him 300$, so the Warn or Mile Maker hubs seem even the more appealing.

lockers

in my experiences the auto locks with 5 bolts are plenty strong the part that keeps them from working corectly is the four prong washer in between spindle nuts the washer in suposed to be static to spindle so when axle stub turns locker the washer forces cam to push locker engaged but the little tab on washer doesnt provide enough holding power to spindle when this happens can ruin spindle threads
