Do you guys upgrade them or replace them with OEM?
I think mine are bad.

 

The 6.0 I just bought has the WARN Free or Lock Hubs if thats what your talking about. I will be switching them back to Auto in the future. Call me lazy or whatever, but I like to turn the **** on the dash and for 4WD to work....

 

Thanks for the info. I won't be getting warn then.
I'm looking for auto hubs like the OEMs.

 

Here is the cheapest OEM that I found that should fit your truck. If links are not allowed, I'm sorry.

05 06 07 08 09 10 Super Duty F250 F350 F450 F550 Ford Auto Locking Front Hub | eBay

 

Thanks for the link!

 

That's where i got mine the first of the year when i did my front end work. Amazing how smoothly they operate when in new condition lol.

 

if you use your 4wd drive keep the Warns, take out the vacuum factor, solenoid, leaks, ect. and the rubbed off print on the oem hubs, and know your in 4WD when you need it, lock the front end up when you think mite need it, if not your just lubing the front diff.

 

sorry smoke I was answering tofan I put warns on my 04 after having problems with the stock system, WOULD NOT GO BACK to the vacum

 

Why do you think they are bad? They don't engage automatically or are hard to engage manually?

Auto not working is usually either a vacuum solenoid gone bad or leaking hub seal. Bad hubs will be hard to manually engage/disengage with the lever on the wheel.

 

OEM, no way I will ever go back to manual hubs. The system works good if it is maintained. Found mine on ebay.

 

I want the convenience of the auto locking hubs. Especially when you up in the mountains.
Oem hubs $140.
I got them here.
LOCK ASSY | Genuine Ford | AC3Z-3B396-A

 

they failed me when I needed them most, more than 1 time, in the mountains, I got no problem getting out and locking them when I think I might need them, to each there own. and they were maintained.

 

The auto ones still retain the manual lock function....On the 2011+ every month we would leave out hubs locked just to grease them up...
