He's talking on the donor truck being a d60 rear.

It wont work with our trucks due to no VSS.

I'd take the 10.25 over a d60 rear anyways.

Just curious why? I always hear the d60 is the best route.

You should have a sterling 10.25 like mentioned.

Awitte, d60 is the best route for the front axle, but not the rear.

The 350 will come with the d60 stock. The 250 comes with the d50.
