Eco Hubs 2.0

[Xengineguy]

Ok I think it time to let folks know what I’ve been working on. New model of Eco Hubs, with these you can have
Eco Hubs Direct Drive OR the standard 2:1 reduction! These are for heavy trucks and extreme extreme off road.
The price of these will much higher than the typical Eco Hubs. Not available yet ,we are still testing.
So far they work awesome! Ive attached a few photos for anyone interested.

I’ve had many inquiries for something like this. Many from people building brush fire rigs hauling lots of water and going off road.
Get there. fairly fast and still have all the off road capability Of the 2:1 reduction.

How far does it stick out? Or how much more does it stick out than the original set up?
I’ll be your test subject!

Would these work with a 939 series truck

They are 2 3/4” longer than stock. Not really that much considering what’s going on inside.

I’m not familiar with the 939 series. These are designed for the axle on the FMTV.

What redundancy/safety design prevents slipping from 1:2 - 1:1 at speed, or vice versa?

Which will be less hassle to install?

Do we need to reprogram the transmission each time we lock and unlock the hubs?

Top notch!! This is the stuff that makes me giddy. Thank you!

You don't do any trans programming with Eco-hubs... On the A0 you would have a speedometer to reset to read accurately, on an A1 that speed signal programming happens in the ECU... CTIS uses this info also so will respond differently with different axle ratio... I would program the speedo for 1:1 as you will probably spend far more time in 1:1...

When will these be available, do you think? At some point I’m gonna need to consider putting eco hubs on my M1078

I didn't see the answer on "how do you physically engage/disengage them?"

On Facebook he said there's a handle that inserts into the 2 holes in the end of the hub and it rotates to engage or disengage like a 4x4 locking hub.

Beautiful.

It looks like it takes 8 to 12 spins to engage/disengage 2:1?

Thank you for sharing—

Hi, I don’t have a ready date or price for these yet. I’m going to tell you that the standard Eco Hubs should be the choice for
almost everybody. The standard Eco Hub works great! These are for very heavy off road/on road use.

I typically travel to California frequently specifically for off-road. That is why I find these hubs interesting. My vehicle is located in California and is dedicated for offloading.

Put some effort into selectable lockers. The open diffs severely limit the LMTV.
