Hub Question

I havean 89 bronco with the 351 and was wondering if auto hubs would be a direct swap in?

Should be, but why would you want to swap from manuals to autos? I have never trusted them and have had nothing but problems with them.

He never said he had manuals... but if you do, please save you trouble and keep the manual hubs, or get a new set from Warn (premium hubs) or Milemaker. The trouble with the autos is reliability... They will disengage when you most need them. Even by just going backwards you could get them disengaged because of their design. And it gets worse with time...

Sorry I assumed he had manuals since he wanted to now if autos would be a direct swap.

Sounds like a pretty good assumption to me. I would never swap manuals for auto unless you have a handicap that would make the autos a better option. they should be an easy swap, just the wiring for the dashboard switches and such.
