    anyone done this with the vacuum hubs?

    I realize the best thing to do is to swap out to the manual hubs,they are stronger and hold up better,plus you know they are locked. Butttt...I don't have the money for the manual hubs right now...so I figure this would be the next best thing to make sure they are locked. Here's the link...

    what could cause my egr sensor to burn up?
