I want to get locking hubs .what ones are made and work the best ? my truck is a 06 -3500 auto. THANKS FOR ANY INFO.

 

Only two choices. Dynatrac and EMS Offroad. EMS is slightly cheaper.

There's a third choice but I can't find the post with a link. Back when I got mine Dynatrac was the only option. EMS and that other "mystery" brand have sealed ABS rings like the factory unit. Dynatrac's is exposed. EMS hubs stick out 1/2" farther than Dynatrac. Then there's price. I'm happy with Dynatracs and picked up 2mpg. Also if your 3500 is DRW EMS is your only option.

 

My Truck Is Drw ,what Does That Have To Do With The Front Drive Axle And Does Anyone Know If Warn Makes Hubs That Will Fit.between The Dynatracs And Ems Are The Best ?

 

Because the front hub extension on the DRW. For the Dynatrac you can machine the stock one to a larger bore diameter or buy a GM or pre '99 Ford version.

So I Really Only Have One Choice Thats The Ems. Thanks For The Info!

 

spyntec from solid axle is the third choice. i believe they are available now- their price is only around 40 bucks cheaper than dyna-tracs. i also have the dyna-tracs- great product. i also pick up 1.5-2 mpg.

Solid Axle is a great company. At the very least call them and chat up their design on hubs. You will find yourself a customer !

 

THANKS APRIL ill give them a call to see if they will work on a drw

 

I believe Dynatrac has a pending solution for the DRW guys. My buddy upgraded to the "Dynaloc" hubs with his conversion. They engage in about 1/4 turn if that,are much stronger,and extend maybe 3/4" less. regardless of the conversion,the weak point on these things is the AAM axle. They bend way too easy.

 

link for the ems stuff?
found it.

I like this option, cause you dont have to upgrade to 35 spline outers. I really dont feel I need 35's, 30's should work more than well enuf. does anyone know, if this uses the factory stub shafts?

does the dynatrac kit include 35 spline outers? If so, than the EMS kit, once you factor in the stubs, is about the same

 

Dynatracs only offers 35 spline outers https://store.dynatrac.com/merchant....y_Code=HUBKITS

 

I cannot yet make a valid judgement on any of the 3 choices. I did today place an order for the Spyntec kit. My truck is a SRW so I am not sure if a DRW is available from Spyntec.

I will provide comments after my install this weekend.

i picked up a 1.25 mpg gain with the installation of my dyna trac hub kit. i installed it over a year ago- absolutely no problems!

 

Looking forward to the feedback...this is the kit that I think I'm going to go with.
