So while i excel at nissan knowledge mainly 240/300 etc my history with trucks just started.

Basically the new truck im picking up 92 HB extended cab V6 5spd has auto hubs.... and my old truck (95 HB 4cyl) has the stock manual hubs. (I HATE AUTO HUBS!!!)

Can i put them on the new truck? also theres a 94 HB near by with WARN manual hubs that i want. thats also a 4cyl.

the only thing i can find is different year axles etc. nothing on the hubs themselves.

I do believe that the auto hubs can be swapped to manual ones. Desert Rat is our 4wd expert, maybe he can chime in on this.

like DR told me.. if you keep the auto lubed up and they are operating condition, they are just as good as the manuals... as far as ur question goes, check the axle code on ur 4cyl door jam for the front axle.. cause if you have the R200 in one and the R180 in the other... they prob wont swap over. so just pull the codes on the door jam!

Your missing the point.

I dont want them. Im not playing a guessing game on 15 year old hubs if there locked or not when im offroad. i want that assurance that there fully locked and im not gunna get stuck
