2005 Dodge Power Wagon Dynatrac Free-Spin Kit Install - Problem Solved - Four Wheeler Network

Our ’05 Dodge Power Wagon is a great truck, but there are a couple things that have bugged us for a while. First, like many other modern 4x4s, the front axle was designed with sealed unit bearings. For our truck, OE replacement unit bearings cost as much as $450 each when purchased from a dealership. Nabbing one from a parts house is far less expensive, about $120 each, but could be of dubious quality. And, the spinning internals absorb engine power and thus decrease fuel mileage. Well, we want tougher wheel bearings, and we want a way to disconnect the axle’s internals from the wheels. Yep, it’s called the Dynatrac Free-Spin Heavy-Duty Hub Conversion Kit, and we installed it. The Free-Spin kit for our Power Wagon came with everything needed to ditch the factory unit bearing setup for tougher, serviceable wheel bearings, races,... The kit also includes hubs, spindles, outer stub shafts, ABS tone rings, and ABS sensor mounts. Also included are manual locking hubs, which will give us a way to unlock the axle’s internals from the wheels. com ) comes with Warn Premium manual hubs, but we went all-Dynatrac by upgrading to the DynaLoc manual hubs for a few more bucks. Dynatrac says that the DynaLoc hubs are three times stronger than other locking hubs and are the first truly new locking hub design in two decades. Source: www.fourwheeler.com
