Dana 44hd Lockout Problem! Help!!!
I have an 86 F250 with the Dana 44 IFS hd front axle and it keeps eating up the drivers side lockout! Back in April I noticed that it wouldn't engage when I put it in 4x4 so I jacked the tire up and noticed that the wheel bearing was loose and that the original Ford lockout was chewed up! I then thought that the loose wheel bearing was the culprit and bought a new set of High Dollar Warn Lockouts for it. I since have used the 4x4 two or three times. Today I noticed (when I needed it) that that lockout would not engage again! I took it apart again and the wheel bearing was tight but the lockout was shot and the brass bearing in it was all chewed up! What could be the problem? I cannot afford to put a new lockout in it every few months! It appears that the axle shaft has alot of play in it. What does the outer axle end ride on? The u-joints are in good shape and everything appears tight. Any Ideas?
