Looking for some SUggestions/Opinions

i have a 1996 Eddie Bauer, with Auto Hubs (3 *****)

looking to convert to Manual Locking Hubs because i have it apart for the ball joints, so i might as well do it all at the same time.

any suggestions on what manual lockers to buy?

Mile Markers?

Warn?

what do you think?

yo MO,

Warn® vs. Mile Marker Product Review (for a GM, but applicable)

Source: by Shawn S at off-road.com http://chevy.off-road.com/chevy/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=200787

Changed my 96's 3 ***** hubs to Warn STD; has worked very well since 1997; only issue is that the cap's "Warn" Labels peeled off; but that is ok with me. Also easy to turn to lock and un-lock in very cold weather.

There is a market for the 3 ***** auto hubs; some need the parts or entire hub.

3 ***** to Warn® w/ Bearing Locknut Torque Settings in a 95 (but his TORQUES are off a bit). miesk5 NOTE: "Word for word from Haynes Manual Ford Pickups and Bronco 1980 - 1996 Using a lockout spanner (ford # T59T-1197-B or equivalent ) and a torque wrench, tighten the inner bearing adjusting nut to 50 foot pounds while rotating the wheel back and forth and seating the bearing. Back off the adjusting nut approximately 45 degrees. Assemble the lock washer by turning the inner lockout to align the pin with the nearest hole in the lock washer. To lock it, install the outer lock nut and tighten it to 150 foot pounds. Grab the top of the tire with one hand and the bottom of the tire with the other. Move the tire in and out on the spindle. End play should be less than .006 – inch.)" thanks to Chris!!!!
