F-350 Locking Hubs

I Have a 2000 F-350 DRW XLT Supercab, 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel, 4 Speed Automatic 4X4 and i'm Having a heck of a time finding a quality set of METAL Locking Hubs for it. It has the Electrically activated dash mounted 4X4 switch with the 2 position locking hubs Auto And Locked. They have Gotten very hard to turn over the years, and there made of PLASTIC! Any Suggestions would be greatly appriciated!

You will loose the AUTO function of the hubs by using aftermarket hubs. For some it's a small price to pay for quality parts. +1 for the recommendations posted above.

If you so choose to do so, you can pull them and service them. Look in the tech folder and or do a search for the procedure. This will not ensure problem-free operation, you'll still have to deal with the vacuum ESOF problems.
However, if you take the advice of the two above, when you manually lock them, you know it's in! If you go that route, plug the vacuum at the fender well.
