Sorry Walt. I have no experience with the Dynatrac. Hell, I came to this thread hoping you were giving out tips/tricks.

Do a Write-UP with Pics.

You got allot of good stff. Christmas in February. Cool.


Edit : Found this Dynatrac Front Hub Conversion

 

that first post sounded rude...wasnt meant to be! i work on huge comercial hvac equitment and i disassemble stuff ive never seen before every day. dont be intimitated be confident. just fix it!!

 

Didn't sound rude to me. But it was very succinct.

 

I installed this kit minus the new front springs you have. Install was straight forward.....MY BEST TIP IS: read the instructions all the way through before starting, and refer to them often!

I followed Guzzle's front brake instructions and also installed the new pins in the caliper.

Having a bearing greaser helped a lot. You've spent some good money there.....do the research and find the best grease suited for you. I went with Schaeffers Moly 221.

Did you get new u-joints for the front axles? I really packed in the grease in the hubs before I installed the back dust seal; this really helps keep water out. I mean I REALLY PACKED the grease in the hub!

When installing the small snap ring on the outer tip of the short axle, be prepared to have to use a crow bar on the back side (between knuckle & u-joints) to pull axle outward, thus providing enough space to install that snap ring.

Be careful when removed the ABS sensor from each hub.....I accidentally snapped one.....another $130 later I was good-to-go.

If you don't have an axle nut socket with 4 to 6 prongs or tabs to match the nut you got with the kit, I say get one from an auto parts store that sells tools.

I also didn't worry about removing and reusing the four studs from each hub. Eight new studs weren't expensive at all, I got them and the new caliper pins at the same time.

It's been 1.5 years since my install, so I'm afraid that's all I can remember. Keep us informed as to your progress. I have photos, but haven't taken the time to download. Best of Success! I think you'll like the kit.....I love mine.

 

Pressing out the Ujoints in the stub shafts was the hardest part. otherwise it is a piece of cake..

 

Thanks for the link!
Tried to rep you but the police have me in time out

 

Thanks for the info ,replies to questions above in blue.

 

My pleasure. Used Google and search string Dynatrac site:ford-trucks.com/forums Just replace Dynatrac with what you are searching for. Works better then the Forum search tool.

Reps unnecessary, but thanks for trying.
