Back when I bought the Mile Marker Selectro Hubs for the M37, I thought they had a life time warranty, but that is not the case.
I've had them repaired once under warranty, and again just now out of warranty. The first failure was because of the O-Ring, this failure was because I stripped the teeth off the internal component.
I ran the locking hubs as the week point (fuse) in the front, to help prevent breaking a front axle. Well, that didn't necessarily work as planned since I did explode a Tracta Joint. That might have happened as a result of the Hub going first on the opposite side, and when the Locker was engaged (while not in a bind/load), all the power went to the wheel I broke the joint on. Once I knew the hub was broke I installed the drive flange, but the damage was probably already done.
So now for the question. Should I leave the Drive Flanges on and run the M that way as it's almost exclusively a trail truck now, or should I re-install the Selectro Hubs? I like the idea of the hub being the fuse, but if they break too easy (repairs are slow and cost), and I don't catch it and cause more axle breakage, should I leave them off?
Merry Christmas,
Will
