This will come off about as well as yelling the N word at the million man march, but I love my auto hubs. Almost 170,000 miles on original ones and I dont have any problems with them. I dont have to get out to put it in 4WD. That comes in handy because most of the time when 4wd is necessary for me, its not very pleasurable to have to step out at that moment.

Matt I do agree that the auto hubs are very convenient, but the problem is that they don't give you any indication of failure ahead of time. They will be working fine and then you'll drive up into the mountains in a snowstorm and suddenly, they're gone, no 4wd. Then you'll have to pay, ohh I don't know, $250 for a tow and ehhh, maybe $120 for chains. Wait, that sounds really familiar... THAT WAS ME!!
My auto's worked great until that fateful night when they gave out and left me stranded... Regardless of how long the auto's have served you without issues, the manuals are just great for peace of mind, even if your auto's are still working correctly... It just nice to know that the only thing standing between me and 4wd is my thumb and index finger
