Just got off the phone with WARN and Superwinch.
Warn covers there product as long as you are the ORIGIONAL purchaser and still have the sales RECIEPT. So forget getting those hubs you bought used warrented. Hope those of you who may have spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on WARN products still have the receipt.
Superwinch warranty. At least on the hubs is simple...take them to a 4x shop and get them replaced. No reciept no questions asked and it doesn't matter if they have had 10 owners.

hmmm intresting info....



so how do the Superwinch hubs hold up?? I've been very happy with my WARN's, and have heard very few bad things... but not much about superwinch..... some "OK", some bad....

Was wondering the same thing awhile back so i asked Fat City and Eric said superwinch sucks real bad. He's gone through countless superwinch hubs. Stick with warn.

True, the warranty might not transfer...but, if you break one, buy a new set and then you can warranty the broken one after a month or so goes by...eventually, you will have a spare set of lifetime warranty hubs also.

I used to work for a fairly large distributor of superwinch hubs and I was sold on them. Their warranty is awesome I used to exchange a set of dana 44 internal hibs PN#400518 once or twice a week. Over the 9 months I worked there I saw maybe 2 that were truly broken. The rest were just old and the owners wanted new shiny ones. The only true problem I saw was that the allen heads are notoriously backing out. Personally I would greatly prefer to gernade a lifetime warrantied hub then an axle shaft. I can carry a pair of drive flanges in my truck and change them out in minutes if a blow a hub. For my money every superwinch hub l blow is an axleshaft I don't have to replace.
My $.03 keep the change.

this is true

ok i'v heard this idea for years

my question is why break at all?

cant you take the route of building stronger not to break?

go 60 1.5 35 spline end to end front and back

and stop getting greasy on the trail

So your sending me a free 60 in the mail? Here in cali 60's are going for over a grand, then after all the other work your in another grand. :rolleyes: Run what ya brung.

see I would go comb the bone yards here in the midwest and pile a truck to the sky with D60 housings and drive them to CA

but when I got there the market would have fallen off and I'd lose money...just my luck

they still can be had pretty cheap here

I bought the housing for my 79 for $75

to the bone yard guys here... straight 60 hd is just lbs of scrap

kinda sad how many awsome axles have been melted down.



as far as run what you brung...my 66 scout is still a hoot to drive dead stock

and it rarely breaks...so I'm right there with ya
