Re: Time for a new rear axle, help me decide.

New parts are all installed. I paid a reputable shop to do the work, dropped it off at 9:00, picked it up at 3:00. I would have probably taken 3 days to get it done in my driveway so I figured I'd...

Re: Time for a new rear axle, help me decide.

As much as I wanted to trust my internet research, I just couldn't so I pulled my axleshafts out today.

The Dana/Spicer part numbers are stamped on the end of the axles.

Driver's side...

Re: Time for a new rear axle, help me decide.

Crisis averted!

I realize I'm just talking to myself here, but the info may help someone in the future. The tone ring presses over the carrier itself (right against the ring gear) and is located...

Re: Time for a new rear axle, help me decide.

I just had a thought and I hope I didn't hose myself... having never changed gears on an ABS equipped axle, how/where is the tone ring mounted and how does that affect gear setup with my new Detroit...

Re: Time for a new rear axle, help me decide.

New gears and install kit are here and my 35 spline Detroit will be here tomorrow. Now I just need axles. From what I could find out about my axle (BOM 606162-1) it uses these axle shafts: left side...

Re: Time for a new rear axle, help me decide.

Shot down again! I ordered the Powertrax and Spicer gears through a local shop and they called yesterday to tell me they could not track down the Powertrax. I looked around online and called a few...

Re: Time for a new rear axle, help me decide.

Money is just burning a hole in my pocket and I still can't make up my mind!

Does anyone know if the disc brake setup from a semi float 60 will work on a full float 60 housing? The auto parts...

Re: Time for a new rear axle, help me decide.

I don't know how I missed it before, but I just came across a 32spline "lunchbox" locker that should fit! I looked and looked trying to find a Lock-Right with no success, but apparently they do make...

Re: Time for a new rear axle, help me decide.

There is a little more to it, but I haven't fully worked out the details just yet. Often it will require a change of the master cylinder and/or the proportioning valve to get brake bias where it...

Re: Time for a new rear axle, help me decide.

A front brake upgrade is likely to happen at some point, though I would not change the entire front end over. I have brand new balljoints, already paid good money to have my I-beams bent, and I...

Re: Time for a new rear axle, help me decide.

As far as I know, ARB is the only option for the van specific 32 spline axles. The switch to 35 spline shafts would only be to give me more options for differentials.

I have a 1998 E350 15 passenger which currently has a 32 spline Dana 60 full float rear axle with drum brakes, 3.55 gears and an open diff. After having Camburg install their suspension I added...
