RE: Manual Hubs
Hey there, Dynatrac makes a hub conversion kit, it's about $1800 in parts, and something I've been considering myself, for economy, and the ability to have 2-wheel low range to save the clutch backing heavy trailers up hills and around corners. Somthing I want to do, but at the moment insufficiant fundulations prevent it. Good luck,

takes the servicing of the front hubs from approx $400 bux down to $40 bux, much cheeper. allows the 2 front's to spin freely w/o driving the axle which helps on mpg (supposedly). I'm considering yanking my front DS for a month to see what, if any, mpg change there is. I know that when my front bearings go, the EMS kit is going in and it would be a great selling point to the little woman (I dont think she really cares) when the time comes.

I had my shaft off for about 3 tanks. only went up 1mpg. Thats not much, but when your as low as 14-15 and get 16, its a little more significant than 30 and 31. It was definitely not worth being without the ability to throw it in 4wheel. The day after I put it back on, I ended up having to use 4x4 for the better part of the day. Boy was I glad to have it. I try to keep mine on at all times, after all, thats why i got it. just my .02

Then by all means, take it off bro. I think mine is a 15 or 16 at the T-case, and I dont remember what size at the axle, but its the only star socket I have, I can look tonight if you dont have a set and would like to know which one to buy(doubt you dont have a set). Just so you know, I will be jealous if your gain is better than mine was[:@].Just kidding. However, I'm more interested in lowering my egts, since drew has got me worried about melting valves with one of his replies to another post. Good luck.
