Which set of manual hubs to run, for now.

[mk42gunner]

I have an 88 Ranger, 2.9, FM-146, manual 1350 and Dana 28 with 4.10 gears. Tires are Goodyear Wranglers 235/75R15. It has Ford manual hubs on it now and cmae with an extra set fo Mile Marker manual hubs.

Is there any advantage going with either set of hubs? I don't really want to spend any money on hubs for the 28; I have a burnt exploder with the Dana 35 and 8.8 waiting to go in, except it has 3.55 gears right now.

Both sets of hubs work, I checked them while changing front shocks today.

The most wheeling this truck should see is muddy or snowy roads.

Thanks for the advice,

Robert

stick with the stockers. They will work just fine.

Thanks, that is what I plan to do; while having the extra MM's as spares.

I'm not sure when the D35/8.8 will go in; probably when I do a 4 liter conversion when this 2.9 wears out. Hopefully that is a few years away.
