Everyone who has ever owned a Ford has become somewhat familiar with the Ford hub system because it has failed in some fashion.
However GM and Ram owners are less familiar because they do not encounter hub issues because their hubs just work without regular failures. No diagnosis or analysis required by GM, Ram owners!
I must be the exception. 20 years and never an issue with my front automatic hubs.
Years ago I thought about the mod. Have not really needed it.
My 05 Super Duty sold at ~180k miles no issues and my current Super Duty with 229k miles and no issues as well. Submerge your axle in water and then ask do you want that axle to engage via DC power or vacuum. I recall our first 05 Dodge Ram at some point the 4x4 stopped engaging and no manual method to engage. Trying to pull a water tank on a turn row without 4 wheel drive was the last straw for that truck.
The choice is yours!
