gearing
So I just swapped out my rear diff that had 3.25 to 4.88 with a Detroit locker. The owner s before me tried to run 38" tires with 3.25 gears!! But I'm ready to do the front which is a Dana 44 high pinion. Does anyone know the pinion spline count and axle spline count? My truck is a 1977 Ford f150 4x4. Worst case scenario would be to pull the axle and check before I order, but could anyone save me some time? Thanks

I would probably be just as easy to pull a front axle and count them now since you can't drive the truck around with such radically different gears in it.
Then you will know for sure what you are ordering.

jkuhane, Get the B.O.M.# off the front of the passenger side axle tube, it will look like this ( 2 24 6 A4 603781 8 ) then search it on the web, post it here for more help also Call Randys ring and pinion at 1-866-631-0196 if you still need help. Something for toilet time, Dana 44 Solid Front Axle: Part 1 Reverse Spiral Housing.
