That info comes straight to me from the person who designed them. Says prototypes are working great and is working on getting them produced.






Hope this helps.

 

Thanks for all the help and info. I'm thinking of swapping the front leafs for 6-inch multi-leaf springs (RCD, DR, etc.) for a better ride and a bit more clearance for 35's. The Rancho's are OK, but they are stiff and sagged 1 inch a year after they were installed. I've looked over the Dynatrac system in the past, it's a stiff bill for a $400 part that only takes an hour to change.... I figure I'd have to go through 6 more hub/assy's to justify the cost, and at 60,000 miles for the first pair I don't know if I'd have the truck long enough. More information on that as I see how many miles I get out of the replacement pair.

DCSpecial - keep us posted on the kit development.

I'm off to Farmington in about four hours to road test my meck-a-neck repair last night. My dealer gave me a warranty claim form and said they would reimburse me for the cost of the 2nd hub after inspection - if they believe this is the first replacement part, who am I to correct them for 4 bills, eh? Done it in an hour, including tools cleanup and road test - too wiped out for the 39 beers though.

Bitchin' set of tools - more than I want to remember
An hour of my labor vs the dealer book schedule - $250.00
Getting Ford to pick up the tab for the part - priceless

 

Kudos to the guys at Sanderson Ford in Glendale, AZ. I finally got the paperwork back to them with both the original and replacement receipts. On the spot they issued me a 100% credit for the replacement hub assy, no questions asked.

This is gonna make it real hard for me to justify the Dynatrac, I don't have a problem changing the part as long as it doesn't cost me $375 each time, just an hour of labor (BFD)

DCSpecial - any developments on the system you spoke about?? I've also had thoughts of building a Dana 60 front, but ABS and other issues have tempered my enthusiasm for the moment.

Thanks again for all of the support, I love my truck and this site is the best out there.

 

Nope, no new developments.......still just waiting for them to be produced.
