If so how many miles and how has the reliability been?

Before I shell out the big money for OEM or Timkens, I'd like to see if the $150-$200 cheaper generic aftermarket 4x4 hubs are really "OEM quality."

 

lots of people on here swear by the warns .. I myself had a hub go out but I wanted the auto so I sucked it up and bought new OEM hubs

 

Buy a set Warn or Milemarker hub for an older Ford F250/350 77-97

 

I thought the newer SD OEM hubs were WARNS?

I have a pair of warn with about 1kmi on them. They have held up. Manual hubs. But I like them. easy to turn and nice looking with the chrome rims ;-)

 

Think he is talking abou the bearing not the hub locks. Installed plenty of aftermarket ones, at least as good as the not so good factory one.

 

You're right, I was actually asking about the unitized bearing/hub. When the replies started about the locking hubs that got me thinking about those also.

Anyways, I ended up buying a set of BCA/National hubs for $465 delivered after looking real hard at the Ebay ones for $300 delivered. I should have them by Friday.
