    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Thank you for your feedback especially since you have 3:07 and a 3116. A lot of people keep asking about that combo and are concerned they will not have the power to pull the 3:07 with Eco Hubs too. (y) :) Glad they worked out!

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Hi, there shouldn’t be any problem getting the hub kits to New England, I think shipping would still be 50.00 for the 4x4 and 60.00 for the 6x6. He may have been referring to my offer to install a set for free labor if you can get the truck to North east Indiana. One set only.

    The outer bolts are 3/8” 16. NC. Be very careful with a tap, you don’t want to break it. Go slow take your time.

    Nice job! I can’t stress enough how important it is to clean the threaded holes. Nice idea on the plastic Press n seal.

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Ok I will throw this out to see if anyone is interested. If we have a member that’s close to Angola Indiana that would like to purchase a set of Eco Hubs. I will do the labor of installing a set and video the procedure. The truck would need to be in running condition and dropped off to...

    Hi Chucky. Yes the hub is designed to allow the axle to be removed just like before. Remove 4 Allen’s in the aluminium cap remove cap, the axle will pull thru.

    You could easily adjust the wheel bearing while you’re there. I would jack the tire up that you’re working on.

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I think you’re still misunderstanding what the reduction is and how the mod works. The reduction 2/1 is placed between the axle and the wheel hub. We remove the reduction and make the hub spin the same speed as the axle. No heat is generated with this coupling of components. With the...

    Hi Chucky, there is a drain/fill hole on the adapter plates. You can fill just like a stock reduction unit.

    Eco Hubs and 3.07's - in a 2000 M1088 with a 3126 (~24k pounds)

    Thanks Chris for the update. Sounds good. Also thanks for trying something untested on a heavier rig with the 3:07. We really didn’t know how that would work out. So glad it worked for you!

    ECO DIRECT DRIVE HUBS

    Honestly I don’t have anyone with 2:87 running Eco Hubs that I know of. Is this a M1078? 1500 at 60 looks ok. We are learning every day on this stuff. I would think staying out of overdrive would actually let the transmission run a little cooler. If you didn’t like the hubs I bet you...

    Looks like they are working very nice even in trucks with 3:07 gears installed.

    Eco Hubs and 3.07's - in a 2000 M1088 with a 3126 (~24k pounds)

    In one of my earlier posts I did a simple fuel mileage run and reported 11.03 mpg. 50 miles each way 60/65 mph 2001 m1078 3126 274 hp stock. I know it’s hard to believe but that’s what it got.

    Dunes Report, ECO Hubs

    That is incredible! Another much lower gear for the extreme stuff! Good to know for the people on the fence about off road performance. Thanks again!
