Default Manual Locking Hubs

This might be a dumb question but do any companies make Manual Locking Hubs for a 2nd Gen. S10 Blazer?

I'm lookin for ways to add a couple MPGs, does anyone have anything else in mind?

You cannot disconnect the front hubs on these trucks like you can on the solid front axle trucks. The disconnect happens inside the front axle.

Oh so I'm just SOL for any type of hub swapping? I just wanna gain a few extra MPGs like I said before since I use my truck for on and off roading.


As for a SAS, I would LOVE to do it but I don't have that kind of money =/


Thanks a lot though.......Any other suggestions?
