So I have a 99 4x4 and my pulse vacuum hubs broke the 3rd time i went wheelin. I pernamently locked them and they work great. Now I m running 33s with 3:73 gearing...so my mileage isn't the best. I would like to do the mod where I make my hubs push button to save a little gas ,but can I even though I removed the metal clips in the hubs?

Err, don't do that. You'll just be going back to the stock style setup. If anything, get manual hubs. The 2001+ Rangers don't even have hubs at all, permanently locked all the time.

I'm not sure what parts in hubs you specifically need, but making your pvh into manual is ez... I did it in 5 mins taking my time. Halfway in to unlock, and a fullin push for locked. It's ez. Don't waste money on manual hubs unless you like the look or you'd rather... Saving 140 bucks is saving 140 bucks

Yeah, you need the metal clip to hold the plastic halves together when not in 4wd.
