AVM Manual Locking Hubs

AVM Manual Locking Hubs
since i found that my right hub does not hold vacuum i decided to get these but i have a few questions before i get these hubs.
1. i have a 99. will i need some type of "kit" aside from the hubs themselves or just the hubs?
2. If my hubs do not hold vacuum, will these work and fix the problem?
3. What should i do with the vacuum components? (hoses, etc.)
4. is this website good with shipping and stuff? i don't want to order and not receive them for a long time, snow is right around the corner.

5. Will i be able to put the center caps back on or will they not fit anymore?
help plz

1) Just buy a set from Tellico4x4. That's all you need and it's a 15 minute install per wheel (including time to jack it up and take the wheel off and on).
2) Yes, these will fix your problem. Same thing happened on my 99 and these worked like a charm. I did have to seat them twice before they worked perfect. But never had a problem after that so I figured it was just my fault.
3) I didn't do anything. Just took my old hubs off and put the AVM hubs on.
4) That's where I ordered mine from.
5) Probably not, as you need to be able to turn the hub to locked when you want 4x4.

He is right. I was lazy during my install and didn't cap anything off and now it wont switch over to 4x4 low. Other than that they work awesome!

I just popped on my AVM's, I haven't touched the rest of the system and it has worked fine for over a year. As far as I can tell, they seal, but I've been meaning to cap off the hoses I just haven't got around to it.
side note: I've also had a check engine light lending itself to a vacuum leak but that started way before I replaced the hubs. (P0171 and P0174 if anyone wants to know, it's System too lean Bank 1 and System too lean Bank 2 respectively)

i had an issue with my t-case not staying in 4-low for more than a minute or so before I swapped the hubs, ever since then its never came out on its own.

This link says the manual hubs can be used on '01 models. Is that kinda a typo?

Umm how the hell are we supposed to just magically know to "cap" off the vac lines, i have never heard of that before in this thread....How do you "cap" them off, seeing as you dont even mess with them when putting AVM's on?? Got any pictures

^ correct ... it isnt hard to cap off a vac line look around your engine bay there should be a few caped off ports as it is... thing about it you have a vac line that was connected to something now it isnt what would you do?
is this really a heard concept for you to understand Lt. J DANGLE

how are you supposed to know.. well either a common understanding of how vehicles work, or PVH work... btw its Pulse Vacuum Hubs... so the tip off is it uses Vacuum to engage the hubs. being now you have manual hubs and nothing to hold a Vacuum that would be your tip off that you would have to do something...
there is a thing called Asking in a manor that doesnt involve attitude...

next just because you think everything is ok doesnt mean you arnt pulling a vacuum leak.. they are small hoses but a vacuum leak is still a vacuum leak...
you need 98-99 Wheel bearings and CV shafts run you about $400-$600 depending on prices... then the AVM's i figured out the prices a while ago search and you will find the answers...
