That would be interesting to know. I would love to convert my truck to manual shift t-case, although it hasnt given me any troubles yet. Its hard to find a Lariat truck with the manual t-case. Keep me posted on the possible conversion.

Could a person order the manual t-case and specify the vacuum hubs? Then hook up the vacuum separately to one of the upfitter switches. The t-case would be reliable(plus I like the shifter in the cab), you can lock the hubs manually if need be, and 2wd-lo would be available.

when looking at trucks, i passed on at least 15 trucks with lower price and miles than my 02 simply because they all had esof and auto hubs.

i will not own a truck with esof and auto hubs.

Have to agree with you there.. Had auto hubs once in a 95 F250 and never again..

The dealer thought I was crazy when I ordered my 06 Lariat with Manual tranny, transfer case and Hubs..

They think anyone who wants a Lariat wants the automatic crap..

I was pleased that I could order the XLT trim level and get a heated power seat with manual transmission/t-case/hubs.
