The WARN Premium Hub is a no-compromise hub designed for the hardcore off-roader or truck owner who will accept nothing less than the industry standard in performance.

The all metal construction and ZA Alloy dial ensure years of reliable functioning. This dial requires a full 9/10ths of a turn to ensure positive engagement of the inner drive gear to the clutch ring. To make sure they stay engaged, WARN premium hubs use a thick internal wave spring and heavy dial detents.

We know our premium hubs will be used hard, so we build them to last. We're so confident, that all WARN hubs are covered by a lifetime limited warranty.

All WARN Premium Hubs feature:


9/10 turn dial for robust engagement/disengagement
Heavy detents for positive engagement
Wave spring technology increases reliability over standard coil springs.
All metal construction
ZA Alloy dial with dual seals keep contaminants out

...This 3 pc. package can be seen is this pic...;)

Hub means the centre of a wheel. By analogy, it generally means 'center' or 'important place', and may refer to:

1948 Arthur Warn invents the Locking Hub in Seattle, Washington
1954 WARN locking hubs are offered as optional factory equipment by major domestic automotive manufacturers

Are they supposed to 'click' into locked? Both of mine click into free, but not really into lock.

My warn hubs don't click into lock either, its more of a friction hold. They do then click into free mode
 












...They do need to click into the free position in order to keep them from engaging...;)

..There are a couple schematics and the links can be found in post #1...For any trouble shooting information you might need for hubs or 4wd, check the "How To" in my signature as it has some really good test and fix it info...

...I am currently trying to find a detailed exploded version of the Warn 29071 hub with part numbers and I will post it here as soon as I get it...
 






dont forget Warn has a new much stronger hub for our dana 35 ttb axles, it was intended for use on a Jeep

The inner and outer spindle nuts and lock ring washer can be had at most parts stores for cheap, just ask for dana 44 spindle nut kit, Carquest is $8 a piece for inner and outer, $3 for the lock ring washer
 






...Can you edit/add the P/N's and a pic, and maybe a link into your post...:thumbsup:

...I want to keep post #1 with all the stock hub info, but what you posted definately needs to be added to this thread...

...If it looks like a similar to stock hub and won't grenade as easy, (and as long as it is not the 2 piece hub) I might even look into them for my X...:hammer:
 






its exactly like the stock hub, except about 3 times stronger.

I run ARB lockers and 35" mud tires on a dana 35 TTB, with the tires at 10 psi in Moab on slick rock I still have yet to blow a Warn hub, even the older style but I did upgrade to the newer style last year.... let me find the part numbers
 






...I already found them, :shifty_ey snagged some pics, and they are in the first post...I forgot about them...:confused:
 






It looks like Warn 37780 has been replaced by Warn p/n 60163. 37780 is no longer listed on the Warn site
 






Part Number: 60163
Rear Full Floater Hub Lock; Standard Duty; Set; 27 Spline; Replacement; Internal;
60163.jpg
 






...I verified with 4wheelparts today that their computer does show on one page the 37780 is discontinued and on another page it says nothing...Other Offroad and J**P sites still show them in stock but :dunno:..I know Warn shows on their site the 60163 as a replacement but keep in mind, that's a 2 piece and it's for a J**P rear axle...That puppy will be bucks...

...I think the 29071 hub is safe from being obsolete as long as we keep grenading them..:burnout:

...I mentioned in another thread today that I will be chatting with Warn next week as they are on Xmas break right now..:(
 






That pic is the same one that comes up for the 37780 hubs, which is incorrect.

It'll be a sad day in the RBV community if these 60163 hubs aren't like the 37780 ones... Our whole community depends on them, as the 29071 ones bring the suck (being warrantied forever doesn't mean a damn thing when you're sitting out there on the side of the trail constantly replacing the weak POSs).

IMO, I think Warn should keep the 37780 and simply substitute Ford Explorers/Rangers as the application for them :rolleyes:
 






...I just also added the Auto hub info as there have been some request for it...;)
 






So, say I decide to put the warn premium hubs on my 93 that currently has autos. I just buy the p/n 37780 for the jeeps if I can find it and I'm good to go, or do I need the 2 bags of p/n 28068x to go with it? If I can't find them, I just have to go with the standards or is there another part number I can go by for the premiums and then add in the 2 bags that are the same as the conversion kit?
 






...You can get the warn 29071 hubs and you will need 2 bags of the Spicer 28068X and you will be fine...Unless you are into hardcore offroad...In that case, read post #12..;)
 






Right, so then, if I go with p/n 37780 (should I find it) my question is do I need the spicer bags? Same question goes for p/n 60163. I know I will need the spicer bags if I go with the standard locking hubs p/n 29071 and I am just wondering if I will need them if I go with either of the 2 premium hubs mentioned in post 12.
 






...If you are converting from an auto hub to any manual hub, you will need to buy those parts to make the conversion from auto hubs to manual hubs...;)

...For future readers: If you already have manual hubs you will not need to buy the Spicer 28068X parts...
 






Awesome information tbars4 :thumbsup: :thumbsup: It should help alleviate new threads as the information is right here.. :salute:
