While I can’t help you much with the auto locking hubs. As I don’t have any.
I do happen to have 2 sets of locking hubs. One OE Red Ford, and a set of warns with the black plastic turns cap. I was debating on what to do with them. If some of the parts in the Ford OEs are the same as the auto locking let me know.
I would also recommend that should you choose to go manual locking hubs, that you look at the Yukon Locking Hubs. IMO they are much much better made than the Warn Premiums for the same price. They also have a lifetime warranty from Yukon. I bought mine off of Amazon. If you break them they’ll send you new parts to fix them. I just installed a set on my truck, and I don’t think I would ever go back to installing the Warns in anything else again. The Yukon’s are much more heavy duty, I think I would snap a u joint before these broke.
