Free spin hub kit fucked my eyes out

Edit-shit. Nevermind. OP is on drugs or dumb or something.

Yeah, I re-read it. My only excuse is that my mind must have autocorrected that to Dodge because it was the only way for it to make sense.

Same. I want to see what got replaced. Don’t care about the free spin kit. I want to see what problem got solved by a free spin kit on a SD axle. :confused:

Spyntec paid an off-road magazine to write an article saying their free spin hubs were better than factory free spin hubs. OP swallowed hook, line, and sinker after doing the jew math that it pays for itself in 284k miles at current (then) fuel prices.

Glossing over the fact he's paying a shop to repack bearings and source oddball seals.

HES SAVING MONEY
 
So, on the new super duties with the passenger side drive slug, has anybody swapped over to the Warn super duty hubs?

I had warn hubs on the 19 I just got out of. I almost never unlock the hubs on my work truck anyway. With the vacuum locking hubs you can’t do 2wd low range anyway. So I’m hoping someone thinks they want both selectable hubs and I’ll trade them so I have both sides with drive flanges.

GM uses a car front axle so they would definitely be dumb enough to do that

Pardon the derail...are the front axles really that bad? I'm slowly truck shopping and found a few trucks that suit my needs. If they're a headache I'll get a Ford/Dodge with a normal axle.

Okay back to weird seals on axle parts nobody really needed :stirthepot:

I have them on my '22, but from what I've read the newer SD's have a different front axle. The link you posted from Warn shows it fitting up to a '24? It has been posted that the new axle is a 9.25 ring gear front axle and no longer a D60. I have not seen one first hand though. I have read on FTE of several people buying a Ford factory drivers side hub for their 24's and swapping it in place of the PS drive flange.

There's a reason people usually don't push snow with them

With warn hubs can you not do 2wd low?

From what I’m told it’s the same axle from the ball joints out.

With warns you can definitely do 2 low.

With the factory ones you cannot. It doesn’t take me long to break the plastic cages in the factory hubs. I had warn hubs on the 19 by 40K miles.

I’ve had so many Superdutys I almost can’t remember how many and I have never had one that didn’t have selectable hubs. I’ve done vacuum deletes for broken lines. Do some models have drive flanges?

The 24 I just got into has one drive flange and one selectable hub

An actual drive flange or just a locked out hub that don't turn?

Because it would be awesome if Ford was making OEM drive flanges.
