My '82 RC still has the original auto hubs. Last winter it felt like they didn't engage a couple of times, so I bought some Superwinch manual hubs (400518). I am hearing conflicting advice about what is required to install them (replacing the auto hubs). Can someone set the record straight for me? I can pull the truck into the garage to do the work, but I don't want it in there taking up space for days if I tear into it and discover I need additional parts, special tool, etc. It would be nice to have everything lined up first. Thanks!

First of all, they came with NO directions. I went to their website and found an instruction sheet that was very basic and pretty much no help. I emailed Superwinch, and their response was "if it's a Dana 44, they'll work". All I was asking was if anything special was needed when converting from auto hubs. If there were instructions, and they told me what I needed, trust me, I wouldn't be wasting your time.
Let me re-phrase: Has anyone personally converted from auto hubs to manual, and can tell me what is involved? Thank you.

I did them on my 84.I used Warns.Pretty straight forward and took about 45 minutes.Mine would unlock when plowing and backing up.Its been at least 20 years since I did them but it was easy.Rocky
