i have a 2000 ranger with pulse vaccum hubs and the live axle set up a i able to run the AVM manual locking hubs bc if i remove my center cap i see no hub on the outside its just the spindle nut and the inside of the hub is splined and if i can wheres a good place to get a cheap set of those?...

 

If you have the vacuum hubs then you can get the AVM's (there is a set for sale in the classifieds right now for $75). If you have the live axle then you need to do more than just swap out the hubs.

 

you need to know whether or not you have pulse vacuum hubs or the live axle setup. If you have vacuum hubs you can get the AVM's if you have the live axle then check this thread

You can get them from ebay for something like $110 including shipping.

 

If you have an axle nut then you have the live axle setup and you cannot use the AVMs

 

How difficult is it to install those AVM hubs on a '99?

 

deadly simple.. there is a thread about it on here. i beleave its pretty much snap off snap on....

 

Kool, yeah when I replaced my ball joints I had to pop em off to yank out the front cv shafts to git to the LCA. If thats all it is then I know somethun that Santa's gonna put in my stocking...

 

i have pulse hubs and my cv's n driveshaft always spin so im gonna say i have the live axle set up.....so is manual locking hubs out of the question? and if not what else do i have to change if u got a anwser pm me plz?.......thanks for all the help thus far

 

so there's no axle nut? or is there?

you cant have a live axle and PHV hubs at the same time, your cv shafts can always spin with the PHV system tho..

 

yes there is a axle nut on the end of my cv shaft

 

then no, you cant use AVM hubs

 

i know for a fact i have PVH so i dont have a live axle then thats what i thought im like wtf i cant have both i work at advance auto n i have never seen that **** before physically i feel it would be impossible bc either its locked or its not

 

?

apparently you don't know for sure you have PHV, because the PHV trucks only have a $25 plastic snap ring that holds the CV shaft in, trust me i have been in there 4 times in the last month

 

i have vaccuum lines running into my hubs so i have PVH

 

im in the dark about this idk i see no hub......but i have PVH that possible?

 

is there something about 3-4" sticking out from the middle of the wheel?




or is it flat?

 

its flat damn nice pics by the way ur truck is pretty BA idk i guess the vaccuum lines i think i see are abs sensors wrapped in rubber tubes......i just really looked at it so i guess i have that live axle ****.......sorry for all the bother it was just me being stupid n not paying attention.........how much lift do u have....?

 

its cool. i just wanted to get it straightened out
3" body and " 5" " Suspension.. so 8"+ tires around 10-11..

once i do 5" yoda springs, ill have far more than 5" suspension

i dont know much about 00's maybe they still ran the lines but didnt connect themto anything? maybe some 00's had PHV hubs so they ran the lines? idk

the ABS wire is covered in rubber i believe too

 

What a confusing thread. Is this a correct summary:

live axles means vacum hubs and no you can not just install the AVM manual hubs.
To install AVM manual hubs you need to replace your axle with one with a nut at the end as the vacum hubs do not have a nut.

 

I thought the same as chris with the Pvh but is must be the abs sensor. I understand it not.
