Manual versus Locking Hubs. A Canadian fella asked me why I wanted the manual hubs instead of the automatic OEM 4WD Locking Hubs. Well for 1) the Warn Hubs look great. 2) The Warn Hubs are stronger than OEM. 3) They are more reliable. Factory hubs have a tendency to stick in the locked position if they aren't used frequently or get dirty. and 4) With Manual hubs, I can put the truck on 4 Low, and run it in 2 Low by not locking in the hubs.
If you live in a cold climate where you don't want to get out of the truck, or need to put the truck in 4WD very frequently, maybe the factory automatic locking hubs are a better option. Or maybe you are just old and/or lazy and pushing that button and mashing the skinny pedal is just much more appealing... that's fine too!
Or ,maybe you just need that extra traction to gap somebody at the stoplight... Automatic hubs are probably the way to go. Nothing subtle about getting out of your truck at a stop light to lock in the front end...
