6 to 8 lug hubs?

[stoney126]

Hey all, i just picked up a 10 front with 4.10s in it. The guy I bought it from said it had full time hubs I remember automatic hubs in the later blazers but not full time? Either way im swapping them out. Will the 6 lug hubs interchange?

Also will the the calipers off the 6 lug work on the 8 lug?

I need to get pads, rotors and calipers if the 6 lugs wont work. Need Ujoints as well. Anyone know where to pick this stuff up for low cost?

As usual thanks for any info

10-bolts and D44's are interchangeable from the (inside) hubs out, so you can swap calipers and stuff.

Full-time "hubs" sound like drive slugs to me. As long as your 6-lug stuff is the internal style hubs, they'll cross over too.

hmm I have no idea what a drive slug is as far as the 6 lug hubs I guess there internal

Yes

The full time ends on the hubs(Drive slugs) are different and require a different locking hub. I picked up my 8lugs with drive slugs on them and had to get a different set of warn hubs to fit the thing. They are not in the catalog and 4WP had to call Warn to get the correct one. there are not a bunch of them out there.

here is a pic of the hub and the cap that covered it.

There are people on here who are better at identifying differentials than I am but I would say that looks like the way D44's came in rigs with full-time t-cases. What year vehicle did he say it was out of? Post a pic of the pumpkin. And look for markings on the housing that would say D44.

he didnt say which year, but im sure itsa 10 bolt. its got the 2 square nubs on the bottom of the case.

those are "drive slugs" Ive got a pair sitting on a work bench here at my shop.

 

[stoney126]

so no hub swapping then?

Those are different than the ones I ended up with. Mine were screwed in from the front and the axle inset into them.

you wouldnt happen to have a part # by chance? HOw much did they cost?

The hubs I got were different and would not work on that one. looks to me that you just need the standard 10b hubs

Those are internal slugs. You can swap them out for manual locking hubs without any trouble. I'll also bet it is a D44 axle and not a 10 bolt. I don't think slugs were ever offered on a 10 bolt axle stock. Get a pic of the pumpkin and we can make sure of what you have to make any future parts buying easy for you.

here's a pic

It appears to be a 10 bolt. I'm going to guess that someone swapped the slugs into that axle.

cool , as long as I can just pull the hubs off my 6 bolt im happy

I was told that the military blazers had warn hubs, Any truth to this?

Yeah, I think my '09 has the Warn basic ones.

A set of Warn Premiums will only set you back $80 or $90 if you dig online.
