Ok you don't have a toyota.....then I have no clue. :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

Locking hubs?? What are those???

It's a Dana 44. And let assume you HAD to run something. Which would you choose. Or would you drive flange it?
Seem's to me I would want my weakest link the easiest to trail fix/

assuming I did run hubs, and I actually do on the street, I'd run WARN's. I've had MM, Superwinch, and Warns, and to date, the warns have held up better.

Oh Yea, Rarely sees street action if at all

Like I said before, I'd run slugs. No guessing. I want my weakest link to be the rock. :D:D

my k10 has new warn premiums, they don't keep water out very good with just a little rubber gasket to seal it up. my factory aisin toy hubs have been on for 6 years with no water problems. my factory jeep hubs (made by warn) are external and seal up very good also. :roxy:

if you have internal hubs and want to control where your weakest link is going to be go with the warns they have fusible links for their hubs that are designed to break first

if you have internal hubs and want to control where your weakest link is going to be go with the warns they have fusible links for their hubs that are designed to break first

if we are talking toyota / aisin stock hubs with their tapered cones to prevent loosening are the way to go

Aisins all the way baby!!

145,000 miles, lots of 4-wheeling, lots of rock scars and still running fine.

If it's a Jeep thing, I don't understand.

Hes asking about a dana 44 not a toy. Warn premium hubs are the best you can buy on the market. Drive flanges may be stronger but the warn premiums allmost never break, the other problem is that if you break a U-joint you cant just turn the hub out till you can get to a place where you can fix it. You eather have to fix it where you sit or chance breaking ball joints when the axle ears start to flare out.

They make em for the external hubs too. Well, at least that's what they told me. Don't think I'll be getting them anytime soon, but they did say they were available.

Spicers, they are a little harder to assemble but they hold up and fit great.

The warn standards and the premiums are pretty much the same thing. The biggest difference is the outter cap/spring assembly. The standard has the plastic 1/4 turn to lock dial whereas the premium has a 9/10 turn to lock all metal dial. The plastic 1/4 turn is nice when the hub is covered and caked in mud or when below freezing. The hub bodies are essentially the same, just different screw hole sizes for the cap assembly.

For playing on the rocks the all metal design is nice as it holds up somewhat better on the rocks. Hmm along that same thought probably never have to worry about seeing many chebbie avalanches out on the trail :flipoff2:

I bought a set of Warn premiums for my bronco but after pulling the stock Spicer hubs I compared the designes and materials the two are made out of and decided to put the Spicers back in. I'll just keep the Warns as backups.

i have run warn premiums, the sandard warns and the superwinch hubs. the warn standards were easy to turn and engaged nicely, they only take a 1/4 turn to lock in. the warn premiums are a pain in the ass to turn but engaged good, they take a whole turn to lock in, but are of a little better quality than the premiums. the superwinch engage good also and turn very easily and smoothly. they take a 1/4 turn. after running all of them i like the superwinch, they are just smoother and easier to use. the standard warns are no where as smooth and the premiums are just to much of a pain in the ass to turn, they are hard to turn and you have to turn them a full turn,i have had to use pliers to get them to turn

go superwinch

I hear spycers hold up well to water

Have never broken a Warn Premium. :smokin:

I run Superwinch on a D44 haven't broke one yet, I do carry an other set in the tool box. A friend of mine had a warn fail on him Know he runs Superwhinch hubs and carrys one warn premium in his tool box. But I have also seen Superwinch hubs fail so I guess no matter what you run you should carry a spair.

The old Spicers are the strongest, but hard to find and I always had trouble getting them to work easy...All the others are about the same imho, I must have 20 pair of broken d44 hubs laying around here. They seem to strip the teeth off the inner gear pretty fast. If you are working them hard with 38s you can easily break a hub per day. :)

For all you FORD guys, Warn Makes the factory hubs on all of the older ones. the only differance between the two is that where is says WARN on the dial it says FORD. Their hubs are just the standard 1/4 turn ones.

Any one have any exploded pics of the Spicer hubs?
