Selectro or Overson Engineering for hubs?

[Warren Lovell]

Well I was hoping someone has had the new hubs on their truck and can tell us the REAL story...are they better than Selectro?

I was reading a comparison between Warn and Milemarker. The review said you had to be carefull when turning screws into aluminum housings.

They also said your hubs should come off and get repacked any time you ford water, regardless of the o-rings - so I don't see the one o-ring on the selectro as an issue.

Any opinions?

I'll let Ken handle this one. He knows much more about it than I do.

Warren i haven't purchased the ov style hubs yet but i will as soon as i can rase the $. As far as the selectro's go, The o-ring is the issue!!! it's useless!!! The hubs function great, but they might as well be open to the air!!

OV hubs are still in the works. I emailed randy over the weekend and he said couple more weeks before the finished product will be ready and ready to be shipped!

<SPAN class=text12>He is making 2 grades of these hubs:

<SPAN class=text12>BILLET 6061 T-6

<SPAN class=text12>

<SPAN class=text12>CASTED 356 TAKEN TO A T-6 CONDITION

<SPAN class=text12>

<SPAN class=text12>I think the casted ones are $650 and the billet ones are $<SPAN class=text12>750.

<SPAN class=text12>

<SPAN class=text12>I believe the billet ones are ready now but the casted ones are the ones on wait

<SPAN class=text12>His company makes alot of aftermarket improvements for the rockwell axles such as heavy duty axles, lockers, and axle accessories and they all look good. I guess his big customers are the monster truck crowd that uses the rockwell axles in their rigs.
