Warn Hubs.. Need help..
I think one of my damn manual hubs is stuck.. Instead of ripping it apart, I'm just replacing them with Warn Premium Hubs..
The part number I was given was 38826.. Is this correct? Is there any conversion kits I need? Anyone that has done it, is it pretty easy.. I've never really messed with the hubs lol.. Based on instructions it doesnt seem TOO difficult.. Does the truck have to be lifted and wheel off or is it something you can change through the wheel opening.. I know prob a dumb question LOL..

38826 is the correct "Gold" hub.
Installation is easy, but you do need to take the tire off. Find the instructions on converting from auto to manual hubs (in the tech folder) it will give you an idea on how the things come apart and go back together.

Should be rather easy.. Prob best $200 bucks I'll spend.. I don't use 4WD much but I don't want them screwing up as we can already tell I think my left front is locked up.. Just hope I don't damage anything..

I would go with the standard grade Warn hubs. They have less of a tendancy to stick when the weather turns cold. I put them on my SD just for that reason. No I'm not just a cheapskate I spent 8+ years working for Warn here in OR. If you never see the cold the premiums are a prettier way to go.

The "Standard" Hubs still uses a chrome plated outer hub and a black center dial. Personally I think they look a lot better with any of the aftermarket truck wheels out there. I am running them with 17" Weld Cheyenne's surrounded by 37" BFG MT's. Warn also makes the Ford factory hubs but they don't seem to hold up as well as the aftermarket versions. As far as going with the premiums, Again I wouldn't for the followning reasons: More exspensive, More likely to stick in the freezing conditions. What else on your truck is going to match the Gold colored Dial?
