An aftermarket locking hub for my '09 F-250 HD...
Hi all,
I've got 2 Ford trucks: a 2015 F-150, which is mine, and a 2009 F-250 HD which my wife usually drives. Joined y'alls guys forum hoping to get here some ideas on customizing my F-150 to off-road, which I plan for this spring. But, now got a problem with the second truck, so wanted to ask you something. The locking hub failed on our F-250 and now I want to get it fixed.... Though I am not happy with the crazy prices Ford wants me to charge. And at the same time, I am not sure whether a non-OE hub will last.
So could you please share your experience on the aftermarket locking hubs? Are these fine? What brands have you guys tried out?
PS - I am looking at the locking hub by Warn.... Though still doubt....
Thanks!!!

I had an 04 F-250 with the vacuum actuated auto hubs.
Lasted about 45,000 miles
I put warn stainless steel manual locking hubs on it, and never had a problem with them.
Traded the superduty in @ 110,000

Thanks for the reply, man. Good to know that I'm thinking in the right direction.
Then will go ahead and order that aftermarket locking hub I guess (https://www.carid.com/locking-hubs/). Hopefully it will work as well as on your F250, man...
