Automatic vs. Manual lock outs.

[Bennybooster]

this depends on IF his axle has good autos or not....
if he doesn't have to replace them, why bother at the moment?

there is no such thing as a good set of auto hubs

i'm no gonna argue my point anymore
for basic stuff, if the hubs aint worn.. they'll hold up. i've used my 4wd a lot and never hurt a hub.. (except when beating on it, my fault... lol). so... depending on the OP's plans for the rig, and what they already have... the auto's may be fine.

They are so stupid easy to change that if they don't bother you I wouldn't worry about it. There is nothing "while you are there" about them.

Blatantly false.

I had autos for 3 years on my truck and never had a problem with them wheeling or going to the snow. I didn't baby them either. When I switched them out there was nothing wrong with em so I sold them to another member. When I stepped up to 33's I sold them for manuals (cheap insurance).

Exactly. Don't just blow money cuz you can. Wait till they grenade.

If your current ones aren't acting up I wouldn't worry about it.

Thank you all for the info and conversation here. I'll just keep the autos until they fail. I was just making sure they didn't do something stupid like throw the alignment off, after I would just get aligned.

just an FYI, i beat on my b2 pretty hard in high school, i never had a problem with the hubs. it was the electric t-case that started wanting to not engage
