Thanks! I have been interested in this.

I see the locking hubs range in price from $30 to $100+/-. I ASSUME the less expensive ones are plastic as in the article above and the $100+/- are metal? Can someone speak authoritative on this? What would be a quality locking hub? Warner? Thanks in advance!

I am confused. There are 3 articles in Axle Tech about converting to manual locking hubs. Only the first one indicates that my 2011 would need to replace the CV axles. Do the other 2 not apply to my year? There is nothing in the last to indicating as to what years they apply. Also, in the first...

Doug904 has a very good post on "How to build a 4.0 OHV for power", but is there a similar article for the OHC? I had to do some research on OHV, because for me OHVs were all the engines made after the "flat heads"! Telling my age! I did some looking but did not see much on upgrading the intake...

Another good point!

I just found the posts. Thanks! Obviously, I am a NEWBIE here.

Thanks! I saw the note at top AFTER posting! Sorry! And, yes, I did finally find the info on the locking hubs for my 2011.

Newbie here, so if my question below has already (most likely) been answered elsewhere... just point me there. I will say in my defense that I looked here and on google and everything I saw stopped in 1998 or 2003. Do they make locking hubs for my 2011 Ranger XLT 4x4 v6? What parts would I...

3 days ago I bought the above 2011 Ranger XLT 4x4 with 66,400 miles. My 2002 S10 got totaled 3.5 weeks ago by someone who was just not paying attention and got angry... I was not at fault in any way! Anyway, this is my 3rd Ranger... it is very nice, well taken of and I like it very much! I hope...
