D44 Lock Hubs - Warn, MM, Superwinch....

mark · Sep 4, 2012

I need a new set of 19-spline, interanal-style locking hubs (Chevy). The ones I have are junk and I thought I had a set of good ones on my shelf but I can't find them.

I've always run WARN's in the past, and if I found a deal on a a good set of used premiums I'd be all over it. But I haven't seen anything pop up lately.

So I'm going to buy new. Warn's are like $120. However 4WP is having a sale, ending today. I can get Mile Marker premiums for $65 and Superwinch's for $85. Been a while since I've researched them, but I don't actually remember hearing much if anything bad about the MM's or the Superwinch stuff, as only as you got the premium line.

Any feed back? I basicaly have about 8 hours to pull the trigger to save $20 if I got that route.

:beer:

You can get the stockers for like $15 a pair at pull a part. Might even get lucky an run across some premiums.

I use the "old school" MM lock-outs that were OEM back in the 70's. They're all metal and have a nice solid engagement feel.

I have a pair on the rig and a pair in my spare kit bag. I swear by 'em.

I have the warn internals in mine now with no issues. on the old jeep I went to the milemarker after breaking several of the warn premiums (external) on the internal ones I didnt see a lot of differance between the brands (mostly metal parts but on the external ones the warns are hafl plastic or alum. and the milemarker wered all steel and brass.

Well where were you earlier!!

I just dropped an order to 4wp. I think its been 6-7 years since I actually bought anything from them. O-well, they are bound to be better than the POS factory ford ones I have on the axle now.
