question about hubs

[willypscustoms]

has anyone done the free-spin front hub conversion kit, my hub went out and i was wondering if i should convert or stay with the stock hubs. i have gone through 2 sets of hubs in the last 35,000 mile

our stock hubs suck anyway. you are going to spend 280 bucks for a new one. just go buy some warns for 180 andsave your self some time and money. the autos aren't the best anyway

Are you talking about hub assembly or the auto hubs for the 4wd?

If you're talking about the first one then I think the best alternative is the DynaTrac setup. However this will set you back a pretty penny and it was also on backorder when I checked. If you're running stock size tires they may not be worth it for you. If you're running larger then a 33" tire they're almost needed.

Hope this helps.

i all ready have the manual locking hubs. also does anyone know where to get them cheap online. and also does warn make replacment hubs for the manual locking hubs. then this time i will replace the hub instead of having the dealership do it.

ya warm makes replacment hubs. i have a set on my truck. i got warm lock outs because the factory ones are junk. i think i paid somewhere around 3 bills.

[willypscustoms]

you paid around $300 for both of them, and also where did you get them, online or somewhere else. also did it come with all the berings and stuff to switch out the stock ones.

i think the 11690 part number will fit on your truck willy they cost 153 through warn and 9 dollars to ship. npot sure what hubs he paid for. i know the factory ones are 293 at the dealer.

the passenger hub baring went out and i went to the dealer and they say i have to replace everything the whole hub and they said it cost $850 and that includs bearings and hubs.

[strokermann]

that is true. yolu have to replace the whole hub. its about 4 someting per side. if you have a advanced auto parts close by go there they can order the hubs for about 184 a peice. or you can go to Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market and its like a nationwide junkyard and look for the hubs assembly. p[retty good prices. i work at advance auto parts so if you need some help let me know.
