Factory to Warn Hubs?

[DesertSmoker]

What is involved with changing the factory auto locking hubs to Warn Premium hubs?

[Chad29860]

Its easy the warn kit will come with all needed parts. The allen wrench that fits the warns is an oddball size so go to your local parts store and get the wrench before starting. Remove old hubs and install new ones. You take the allens out remove the cap. REmove lock ring on outer side of hub and pull hub out. Put warn internals in(noting you may have to reach back and wiggle axle up and down to get splines to line up). Install lock ring and then put new warn cap on.

So it is really a drop in unit? No conversion kit needed?

[Chad29860]

There was none needed with mine. Mine is an 03 250

Totally drop in with the 99-04 trucks.

Takes about 25 minutes start to finish

i put mile markers in my 04 took 5 min to change both sides cost me $100 only thing is they sit back in the center caps about 3/4 of an inch.


Mile Marker 449 S/S is what i used

[Chad29860]

Mile Marker makes good products but Warn Premiums is by far the best out there My .02

what about 05 and up? I assume they are a different style or make?

[Dave]

Theres no current aftermarket option for 05 up lockouts.

They are the Warn premiums directly from the factory

so I would have to change the complete hub assembly or it isnt possible?
