I still have a 1988 f-350 4x4 with lockout hubs on the Dana 60. If people say it doesn't take some power to push that thing around with the hubs locked in they haven't driven a big Dana 60 front end in the winter. It takes a tremendous amount of power to push that when the hubs are locked in, and I have amsoil in both the diffs. The lockouts have performed without a problem for 20 years and I have no intention of replacing this truck in the near future. Car companies can not make a front end locking device that will reliably lock and unlock the front end of a truck diff for any length of time. The only reliable one I have seen is a guy getting out and turning a locking hub and being done with it. I know people who have had every brand and they all gave them some kind of problem with the locking front ends. Always expensive to fix as most gadgets are. Electronics on modern automobiles are the biggest fubar of the modern world. Here, try my heated seat, oh it doesn't work! Wait the front end hubs won't lock in unless I back up and I am stuck already, worthless. Oh, now my electronic lock up torque converter wants to shudder. Adjust my electronic climate control. Not just a cable but a control center that fails and costs $600 dollars to make work again. My door adjar light and dome lights all stay on in my suv because the cold weather has a switch sticking. Have to undo the battery on the $50,000 dollar suv to get the dome lights to go off. Horn honking on the other car in the parking lot because the security system is junk. Honks until battery runs down or police come and get you. Anti lock brakes that don't work properly on the chevy pickups and you find yourself going through your garage door. New vehicles have 100 times more electronic gadgets and are much more prone to a failure that will require a tow then they ever have been. My ranting!

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
