Needed: input on aftermarket locking hubs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OK, it looks like the monster hubs on my GMC are crapola. I need to get some new, and I'd like to ask what you guys have used, and how well has it served you. I was thinking along the lines of Warn Premiums, but I know a handful of other manufacturers make 'em. Any input/info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Also, I just found that Warn makes only premium hubs for '60-'76 3/4 ton 4x4s. 19 spline count, Warn pn#9072, service kit Warn pn#7302. The premiums require a 9/10ths turn to fully lock/unlock.

I've had good luck with Warns.

I've got Warns on my Blazer, and have had no problems at all.

I've only got about 2 years use on mine but I have a friend that owns a fairly large distribution center,he has sold about 2000 sets of superwinch hubs,i believe they are lifetime warenty too,has had no comebacks,the other bonus i noticed on a cutaway one he has there was the quality of the seals which will keep the water outa the diff when crossing the river.

I replaced auto hubs w/ warns and had no problems on an 85 K5. I still have the spicers on my K25.
