does anybody know if there is a company that makes manual hub conversion kits for 95 dakotas

 

Manual hub kits no. IFS dont use Hubs. There is no kit for any IFS. But if your talking about Central Axle Disconects there is no kit but pre 92 had CAD on them. But if your talking about a soild axle kit, no thing spacifly for our trucks. Check FAQ2 for links to several 1st gen soild axle truck. Why were you looking for one? Try to be more spacific with your questions.

 

will the central axle dissconnect let me run a locker in the front on the road and if so can i swap it from a 90 dakota into a 95

 

Yes it should bolt in easy. If the locker is a slectable locker you should be okay and just disengage the locker when not going straght.

But if the locker is non slectable then there is a problem. The CAD is controled by vacuum suppied by engine manifold. So you can get a small vacuum pump like from a toyota or something (they use it to control cruze control). And manually switch it when you want. But even though it is in the name, "cental" it accully is on one side. I belive it is the passerger side. So you will get binding on the other side while doing a turn due to it still being connected to the ground and transfercase with nothing to give it the extra speed or less speed that it needs to complete a turn. So you can put it in 2wd for turns but when you need traction it is not a good idea to do that.

Also the front axles are small and weak when comeing to binding issues dont get me wrong they are strong and can handle alot (belive me I put mine through its paces).

Are you looking to get a locker for the front only or both. A rear locker is all that is truely needed for our trucks. Trust me I know!

 

well my front diff is already welded and it does not handle bad off road the reason i was asking is because its a pain to drive on dry pavement and do they make a selektable locker for the front and if i installed cad would it be easier to drive on the road
