    Do you think a Powr Lok would keep Warn automatic locking hubs locked all the time? I'm thinking of putting in a Powr Lok in the front and wondering whether it will defeat the unlocking feature (ie leave them locked all the time). Should I ditch the automatic hubs? Anyone ever tried this?

    thanks,

    Eric

    I don't see how it would cause any problems.
    they will still engage/disengage I believe.
    I also have no experioence with the auto hubs on my Jeep

    They won't cause you any problems at all.

    I Agree with Glenn. The warn auto locks free spool when turned out(disengaged). I have never felt them engage even when running the tcase in 4 hi to lubricate knuckle bearings. AM
