Just did my 24 yesterday. Super easy once you trace the whole line down. I needed the whole line kit as well. You still need the short piece as well But i didn’t buy it, I cut hose off the old factory and worked perfect
I suppose if they would start using cv joints it wouldn't be a problem, but for some reason those knuckle ujoints just dont live very long when they are turning without power being transferred through them. Just ask a Dodge owner. I dont know how many dodges ive had to replace the ujoint in the knuckle on, super dutys seem to go around 200k miles before you have to replace them. But I would imagine ford did this for convenience, dont have to walk around the truck to lock in the far hub, which you should always do if your already stuck. Ive seen a few of those autohubs strip out from people trying to put it in 4x4 after they already got stuck.
Colin, to make it easier could you buy the hose assembly and leave the original line in and cut it where the T goes and add the rest of the new line to the passanger wheel? thanks for the video.
Colin, thanks for the video. Mine should be an easy replacement since it was a November build date. Can you comment on why to do this? Would it help my gas mileage since the passenger side axle wouldn't be spinning? Also less wear on that axle???? I'm not planning a lot of off roading but will be towing quite a bit.
Nice video. Have you checked with your ford dealership? A ford tech on UA-cam mentioned they made a service bulletin to add lockers to non tremors. You might be able to get reimbursed your parts cost
There are 2 TSBs related to this issue. One says if there is a grinding noise from the front right, it may be this, and to add the new hub and tubing. The other says the dummy hub is by design, and for Ford not to replace at their expense just because you want to.
Does anyone know if replacing this dummy hub with a selectable hub impacts your ability to shift on the fly into 4x4? For example, you're cruising down the road at 65 and get caught in a snow storm. Can you still just reach down and shift to 4x4 hi while still driving, or is something going to grenade?
I wonder if the tubing kit applies to the 2024 diesel version as well? Mine is post February so the axle line is gone on mine as well. Very annoying that Ford decided to do this.
All models have the dummy except Tremor models and they have SSM 52423 for grinding noise while driving in 2wd to install the selectable hub lock and vacuum lines
Just picked up my hub and line today. Just curious. Did you truck come with black lug nuts. Mine is a lariat ultimate with the black out package and it came with chrome lugs. Kind of annoying.
So my 2024 Lariat seems to be different. I have an extra hose that branches off of the vacuum line at the T joint and it goes into the differential? The replacement line does not have this? Can someone help me understand how to proceed here?
So my dealership owed me a favor, so i mentioned if they could swap out this hub for me id be a happy customer, the email i got back says its a 1500 to 2000 job with multiple componets needing to be replaced and possibley needs a new front axle lol, my truck was built in march so i would need the entire vacuum line but can anyone confirm the bs im smelling? Its a 6.7 lariat fx4 if that matters
Sorry, couldn’t help that. Real reason is Ford puts a locking hub on Tremor is because this trim level comes standard with a limited slip front axle. All other trim levels don’t come stock with limited slip front axles. I don’t know what trim level he has, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum. Just no Tremor trim level.
Life saver i would be so confused without this video. Thank you
Fantastic video - sir appreciate you doing this.
Just did mine thank you very much. I missed one attachment hole but was able to reposition myself for a different view and found it.

Thank you for doing these kind of videos. I don't understand why they would use a dummy hub in the first place. They going for 4x3...
Nice video!!
Where do you get those lug nuts for the wheels?

Nice!! Thanks for video.
How are thoee wild peaks? Looking at the same set. Whats your sizing on them?
Colin, to make it easier could you buy the hose assembly and leave the original line in and cut it where the T goes and add the rest of the new line to the passanger wheel?
thanks for the video.
I suppose anything is possible with the correct fittings. I thought it was pretty cheap and easy to do it with the entire OEM piece

Theoretically better MPG and less wear and tear since you can have both sides not spinning
Hey Colin nice info. I have the same wheels what black lugs did you go with? Thanks
Thank you I will do the same. Any part numbers?
Just added to the description
Ford now has a service message for intermittent grinding and you can go have them replace it with the hub and vacuum line SSM 52423 under warranty
it says wont be done under warranty if truck has a a level kit or so on it
What do you mean by intermittent grinding, and at what milage?

Yes your engine choice won’t make a difference
All models have the dummy except Tremor models and they have SSM 52423 for grinding noise while driving in 2wd to install the selectable hub lock and vacuum lines
Why would you spend the money and time to do that if it makes absolutely no difference at all ?

I added them aftermarket

What’s your build date? Is it a Tremor?
Part numbers? Good video.

😂😂😂 they have no idea what they are talking about or they are just blowing smoke up your ass. Yours is the same as mine in this video.
Why was dummy hub there in the first place?
That’s an easy answer. For dummy’s!

So are the xlt regular trucks just have open axle?
