auto locking hubs

Learned a great lesson about the OEM auto locking hubs in the ford series SDs. They are pure JUNK! At nearly $400 per side for these I have changed to the best hub kit WARN makes #38826. The only thing they don't do is auto lock which most of the time in cold weather never worked anyway. I lock them in the winter and freewheel when not in use. These hubs Ford came out with and the system is absolute crap! WARN cost me $198.90 and the best they make................

Mine are eight years old, and work like new!

I occasionally put in a little maintenance, and I get to have "on-the-fly" as a result.

I like that feature, and though I don't call on it very often, it's always there when I do.

I love mine and what an easy install. Now don't forget to plug your vacume lines so your vent control will work properly when your not locked in.

If you're going to install aftermarket hub locks, remember to also plug the little nipple coming out of your hub so that water won't get into your hubs and ruin your wheel bearings.

That would be important...
