Selectro hubs

[digger]

i've been thinking of a set of lockout hubs for my deuce. can anyone tell me if you can feel any difference with mileage/h.p.???????

I bought a set and got about 1 1/2 to 2 mpg better. But i haven't gone on a road trip with them yet. wal-mart parking lots are no problem now. I have a LOVE -HATE relation with them though. If you take your truck off road, ( mud- water) then you'll get to spend some quailty time repacking weel bearings. I'm going to try the overson eng hubs. I sure hope they are more watertight. As far as a HP increase, or more of a kick in the pants when taking off from a redlight? Dunno, I've got the fuel rate cranked way up. So it's hard to say.

ken,
being new to this deuce, can you tell me whats involved in the higher fuel rate?

Digger,

put selectro hubs on my m109 and road feel seems better but no increase in milagege that i can tell.

i like the idea of hubs to so i could care less about the miles per gallon but in case the axles get loose you can just dis connect them with hubs

I put them on my M35A2, not for fuel mileage, but to ease the wear and tear on the front end. Works beautiful. Smoother ride and feels like I got a couple of more horses out of the motor.

Joe put a set on a deuce I bought from him and I won't
work a deuce without them; easier to steer, better mileage..........

He has sets of new 2.5 ton lockouts ready to go. $595 and they should be waterproof, something the Selectros seem to struggle with.

Struggle? That's a gentle way of saying it. Ken, what would you say?
