Hey guys, looking for some drive slugs for my 99-04 superduty 60 front end, and 05+unit bearing rear end. I'm upgrading to 35 spline stubs in the front... Do they interchange with older model axles? I know the 05+are different, but I'd like to have the same brand so the caps match front to rear. ECGS shows them, but doesn't specifically say they'll fit that axle. Thanks

No.
 
99-04 will accept every d60 hub but spicers.

They need a extra piece to work right. Which is why yukon/dyna has a different kit for supers.
 
There is no locking hub that will fit 04 and down and 05 and up.
 
But you are asking if the hubs interchange and they really don't locking or not.

The 05 unit bearing has 6 bolts holding the cap in place. Looks like the 99-04 slugs use threaded holes in the slug itself to retain the cap.

But the bolt patterns don't appear to match because the hubs don't match. You are trying to match hubs across three very different axles. It looks like companies make caps that will look the same but are retained differently.
 
No I wanted matching caps front and rear, and couldn't find anyone that made them for the 99-04. Sorry I didn't word it better, it was a long week
 
3 different axles? What's the third? Didn't want a tmr on the rear and a ECGS on The front
 
I missed some of the point to the op.

77-04 are structualy different hu s than 05+.
They will never match/interchange.

Best youre gona get is 2 seperate kits from the same brand/mfg.
 
Sorry, I read this as what locking hub will match my " 99-04 superduty 60 front end, and 05+unit bearing rear end".
