oh, duh, cause you don't live around here...sometimes lack of sleep causes me to not make sense or think coherently!

i got really mad at the !@#$ stock air filter last time i changed it cause it was being stupid and decided it was crap, so the 6637 was supposed to be my next mod...but then i blew the diff. never enough money for it all

i think it might be up to $2 now...i called them last week pestering about differentials again. check craigslist too, i'm pretty sure i've seen several (but i didn't really look too closely for obvious reasons)

 

could be....

ive seen them on e-bay too just dont have the $$ for shipping.. there was one not to long ago that came out of a 03 with everything still on it.. (guy swapped it for a 9") was selling it for $375 and $125 for shipping... but didnt have the cash for it.. (still dont..) but wondering how much theyd be locally at the jy... plan to beef it up inside too...

 

Axles are like $90. . .sometimes they charge a couple bucks extra for brake drums but I always left those up there. . .and still a buck to get in. . .

There were a few newer model mustangs up there a few weeks ago, I'll probably swing by there this weekend and will check again. . .

 

cool thanks mate... personally all i really need is the housing unit... quad shock mounting plates, and driveshaft-pinion connector... but would take the whole thing if i could.. and just leave the brake stuff there since i plan to transfer mine over...

but before i put it under mine i want to upgrade its internals... just dont have the cash for it atm...

 

when did you see that and how much of it is "trash"? even if it's a gasser it may have some parts that will fit my truck...

DANA 60 Axle

no clue if it's in good shape or how much you can tell from a picture...looks like it needs a little cleaning up to my uneducated eye. says it was 250 rear, but i think that *might* actually fit my front end with the current rear axle...

 

id probably walk away from that deal... doesnt look in good shape to me..

 

unless something drastic changes in the next two weeks, i'm planning on staying with a ttb and going to 4.10s anyways

 

MissI,

Thats a rear rear, and your sterling is stronger that that late 70's d60. For a front D60 you need it with leaf springs and the diff will be offset to the drivers side. Sort of looks like this:



BTW, this is a mid 80's D60 that me and a friend put into a 79 Bronco for another friend. We converted it to the coil spring radius arm setup of the 1/2 tons. For your 3/4 ton and to keep the truck so you can haul your horse trailer, stick with a leaf spring setup.

 

It's an early 80's Light Duty F250. Lift kit look's like an El Cheapo, inline 6 with a 3 speed auto, BW 1345 transfer case. . .semi float rear axle.

Even if the gears were 4.10 I wouldn't use them in anything. . .


Rear axles won't work on the front if you want to be able to steer And the gears themselves are low pinion, which wouldn't work up front if you were thinking of swapping out. Not to mention that axle has no provision for your VSS (96 should be in the axle, yes?) so you lose your speedo


If you really want to do some modding, there's a set of 5 ton military axles in the Trading Post for only $1500

 

Steve, the VSS can be found in 87 and newer sterlings, of course back then they were just used as an ABS tone ring.

Now for the 5 ton Rockwells, I'd stick with a built up D60F/Sterling 10.50 rear and just beef them up, thanks anyways.....

 

I was talking about the Dana 60 rear not having VSS and that her's should. . .probably not too clear

But it's all groovy man!

And speaking of Rockwells, if you are ever looking for a military 6x6 to tow the ranger around in, a fair share of them come through the trading post and craigslist in the warmer months. There were 8-10 of them last year, $3000-$4000

 

well i feel stupid now...all i can say is that it must have before i finished my coffee...

 

Lol!
