dumb dynatrac/ems hub conversion Q

that I think I already know the answer to...

I know everyone hates the CAD axle, but for my VERY limited offroad use, I don't mind it... I like the option of 2wd low.

and I realize that manual hubs give you the option of 2wd low

I guess my question is, if I were to just leave hubs locked, the truck would act exactly the same as it does now, correct? I mean, I wouldn't leave them locked as that would negate a big reason for doing the manual hub conversion. BUT, if I did leave them locked, it would be essentially the same, just stronger and servicable, right?

thanks

thanks Lance. I mean, it makes sense... I just wanted to make sure it wasn't one of those things that was so simple/logical I was overlooking something!

you can use a vac solenoid on prevend the CAD from locking the pass front axle or you can go with a manual lever on the CAD to do the same thing

where can you get the conversion from. Id like to keep the CAD but go back to the old style cheaper wheel bearings.
