If they have such better deals you should probably just spend your time over there instead of here.

I used the Warn premium hubs on mine. They've held up to almost a year of beating on rocks and abuse and my friend's 3year old could turn them lock to unlock - super easy.
I've posted pics on here I think in Grubbicon's thread of trimming the gas tank skids to fit a sterling. Took some adjustment after a couple of trips but mine no longer hits the gas tank.

Yeah, I have read threads that said that. The only thing that won't work with keeping the stock lockouts is the AUTO function. There are 2 positions in the hub. AUTO and LOCK. Throw all the vacuum stuff in the garbage. The Diaphram just inside the stub shaft, and the vacuum fitting just on top of the knuckle. After that, the AUTO position will be UNLOCK, and LOCK is LOCK.

The Sterling comes really close, but I am running a 1410 flange and still don't make any contact throughout travel. It does come close where the housing tapers toward the pinion, but I just adjusted my control arms about half an inch longer and it clears fine. With stock arms I would think that it would definitely hit.

Yea I'm upgrade mine to Warns if my stock when's give me any trouble. I wish Yukon made their hubs for Super duty axles but they don't.

Yea I'm going to try and plug up that fitting on the knuckles and I've already thrown away the diaphragm when I took the axles apart lol.

thanks for the info, I have read about the trimming of the tank or mounts or moving back the rear axle 1-1.5"

thanks for the heads up, but I have a parts guy. I will do the artec rear truss swap and he can snatch me some arb lockers for almost cost.

When I was working the quote with my local store for my PR44, the owner that is a close friend tried to sell me on the idea of junkyard 60's because "it could be done for about the same price of just that front axle". Still went with Dynatrac for many of the same reasons most guys posted around here, specially WJCO's statement, buying a quality American made product still is something I try to do every chance I can

Also as to this forum being a a Dynatrac shop, dude, even if they weren't as good as they are, which they most certainly are, Dynatrac is a supporting vendor, I'm sure that if you go to a Sears auto store and start saying that used snap on tools are better than new craftsman tools, you'll get shutdown pretty fast too...

But dude, you're saying the same thing dude. Dude this is a Dynatrac friendly forum because they are supporting vendor and they do put out a good product dude. This isn't Dynatrac's website itself though. It's ok to try the Simply Orange Juice instead of the Tropicana when you go the grocery store even though both are good and some people prefer the Simply brand dude. Sounds like your friend's shop is based in America(or an American territory) so working on Ford axles with Artec and Spicer and RCV parts still sounds American made. But what do I know, I'm sure you wheel that PR44 harder than I do my SD axles.

The rear is drained, shafts are out, i had to get a 36" pry bar to get the ring and pinion out. Im looking for new dust shields, parking brakes, and unit bearings now.
