Manual Hubs

I know most of you prefer the Warn Premium hubs, I'm just looking to see if any of have any experience with other brands, like Mile Marker or Superwinch? Thanks.

mine are stock and i have no trouble with them at all...not sure how much they are or even what brand...the key is to keep them clean and lightly greased...

From what I have seen the Warns and the Milemarkers were about the same price.

I have Warn hubs on my 99 PSD dually. I went with the warn standard hubs for the simple fact that they are just down the road a few miles from my house if there were any issues. They went on very easily with a little modification to the wheel spacers. There is a casting line inside that needs to be ground down very little and they fit perfect and work well and I love the 1/4 turn engagement.

No I would be going with the warns, what ever people say on here I go with. Why reinvent the wheel. I was just curious. Just wondered if there was a difference.

Exactly, if the price is the same, go with the Warns... and they look nice too.

I had the same problem with mine. Pop them off and squirt a little grease down in them. I used some white lithium grease in a spray can and a shot it down in the two holes in the white plastic/nylon looking piece. Also push the white piece down with your fingers(that will unlock them) and you should be able to turn the locking spline part. That should cure your problem or just get you buy until you get the warns.

This helped me get a little more life out of my OEM's until I upgraded.
