Dana 44 hubs for RCV axles

[JWMcCrary]

I know most are running slugs and that's probably the best. From what I've read the Yukon hubs are probably the best lockouts. When I upgraded to the RCVs I bought the pieces to convert my Warn premium hubs. My question is how prone are the Warn premiums to breaking? Has anybody broken one with RCVs? I've heard of many breaking with u-joint axles but the 30 spline piece is supposedly made out of better material.

I've broke 3of em without wheeling too hard

If someone would make the 30 spline conversion for the Spicer hubs I would buy them.

Since they don't, the Yukon Hardcore hubs are the only good choice.
All the other aftermarket hubs on the market are a downgrade from the Spicer hubs.

Sorry JW but he's right. The warn parts ar just too small. The upgraded piece from RCV is a good step up but still not the same strength as the spicer design that Yukon copied. It's expensive to produce and can be finiky to operate, hence why the warn design being so popular.

Dang man, every time you reply to a comment of mine it costs me....lmao. Thanks man, I'm hearing exactly what I expected. Look like I need to upgrade before OCBR.

It isn't warns design. It's the cheap material they're made of. Mile marker made a set of ultimate hubs. Same design as warn but all good steel. They discontinued em a few years back. I've got a set on the shelf going on my 44 when it gets the arb and axles.

Just ordered a set of the Yukons, will hang on the Warns for spares.
Thanks Guys

Those were definitely better but weren't indestructible, I've broken both the D44 and D60 versions of the ultimate hubs.

I do like the yukon hubs better than the spicers, the caps are all steel and durable, i always broke the caps and dials on spicer's

So a local buddy installed Yukon hubs last year and after grenading an axle this spring upgraded to RCV BUT even with the "upgrade" part to match the Yukon hub to the new RCV they won't go together...I haven't seen it but he said he had to go back to his Warn hubs... what's up?

thanks

Not sure. I've heard of that issue with the RCV stubs but have not experienced it. But on RCV's with a d44 I've only done their drive flange after the warns gave it up on the trail

Does anybody just break the outer spiral retaining clips? Cause I have broke two so far.

 

[SteveL]

Are you talking about the spring metal that engages on the threaded part? 2 of those failed on me and one hub just broke

Yukon part #YHC70005 for $150? That would be a steal!
