Mile Marker locking hub question
Hi guys, I'm sure you'll help me out. I need to replace my front auto hubs for either Mile Marker or Warn. I have an 03 F-250 SRW with gas engine and when I'm searching for a Mile Marker hubs it says there is no application for this year. Does anyone know what part # or model # it is for my truck? I looked through this forum and found couple of threads about guys using Mile Markers. I tried Summitracing.com and couple of other websites with the same result (I believe I even tried MileMarker website). And with Warns it says I need a conversion kit but some of you guys say otherwise. I would prefer the Mile Markers, though, since they're cheaper. Thanks for help.

Look here:
http://www.milemarker.com/pdf_downlo...s_appchart.pdf
It specifically shows F350/450 with Dana 50 and 60, for 1976 through 2004, and "1-ton Dana 50 and 60, 1990 through 2004".
Funny though, that it doesn't show the F250 like I have, but the hubs are the same as the F350.

Thanks for help. I just bought Mile Marker 449SS. And guess what - only $140. Not bad, huh? I'll put them in as soon as they come.
And where should I plug the vacuum line? By the hub or under the hood?

I removed the nipples from the hubs and installed brass plugs -- they are 1/8" NPT, available from any decent hardware store for a couple bucks. I then purchased 6 vacuum line plugs, can't remember the size right off. Remove the rubber vacuum line in each wheel well up by the shock mount and replace with one plug each. Then I unplugged the vacuum line from the solenoid, intalling a plug on each of those two ports. Follow those two lines to the nearest joints, unplug the lines and install the last two plugs. You should then be left with a short vacuum line assembly. I put mine in a safe place (where I most likely will not be able to find it when I need it). By doing it this way, if I or a future owner wants to return it to the stock setup, they can with little effort.

30 or 35 spline outer shaft?
I have a Brazilian made 2011 F-250 Superduty with a factory installed inline 4 Cummins, and a ZF manual 5spd Transmission. The rest of the truck is all identical to the american '05 Superduty. The front Dana 60 (if Im not mistaking) on leaves, has a 30 spline outer shaft, and 55 splines on the wheel hub. This truck is no exception, the automatic vacuum hubs are also failing to operate well, even though I clean and lube them periodically. I would love to change to more reliable manual locking hubs. Now I only find Warn and Mile Maker manual hubs with 35 spline outer shafts. Any Help??
