Thanks,

Mike

Not yet. Check the "Serviceable Lockout Hubs" thread for details.

They do for your '94. IIRC, PDR and Haisley Machine sell the kits.

I own at 98 (12v) and have a vac operated front axle. A friend has an 03 (?) and I don't think he has this same setup. Anyway, I got an electricially (12V) vac switch from my parts house. It's a Ford (sorry) egt switch for a van. I put it in line between the t-case and the front vac housing with a switch on the dash. I can put it in 4 low and not turn on the switch and I have better than 7 to 1 rear gears without front drive.

A month ago while driving up the back side to Big Bear Lake Calif. with a 11' camper, car trailer and Bronco on it I was able to shift into 2 low and pulled the hill like it wasn't there. As there were/are a lot of switch backs speed wasn't a question. Also the trans NEVER heated up above 180. Egt's didn't suffer either.

No one makes a kit yet. I'm converting mine to dana 60 spindles, hubs, and warn locking hubs so I can unlock the front end for daily driving. Not too difficult to do.
