i blew my dana 60!!! need new parts
 

ok this week end i blew my dana 60 in my truck it had 4.10s stock but id like to up grade to 3.73 or 3.42 or something inbetween where can i buy gears? i think its a semi floater, its 8 lug anybody have any ideas?


-kyle :burnout:

You need the dana id number it is stamped on the back of the axle near the right side shock mount. From there you can go to http://www.drivetrainsuperstores.com/

that is a dana 60 full floater. gears should be pretty easy to find for it.
i'm curious though, what exactly did you blow up?

I just sold a nice set of 3.54 gears that would have been perfect for you. If you do end up going back to 4.10's I know the guy that purchased my 3.54's and he has a nice set of 4.10's for $60 or b/o.

how the hell did you blow a dana 60?

If you just need a new ring and pinion , 3.54 should be available ,I got some at the local 4 wheel drive shop .

not sure how but the small block in my sig killed it from all those brakestands testing out my stall converter i guess it snaped the spider pin and ate the ring gear thanks for all ur help -kyle

I feel for ya, I did the same thing with my Dana 60, and I wasn't even doing a burn out (at least when it happend) I went with 3.55's

hey dion did ur truck get sugnificantly slower with the lower gears? vs the 4.10s that is. thats the only thing im afraid of. also can i install the gears and a track lok myself?or do i NEED to get some one to do it? thanks -kyle

I had 3.55 in there before so I couldn't tell you. I have been thinking about going to 3.73 though. 4.10 would probably be too much, I do a little Highway driving.
Here's what we pulled out

thats pretty. thats something that goes one the wall with the twisted up con rod bearing caps

I keep it on my desk at work, a little big for a paper weight though!

iirc, you will need to get someone to redo the gears for you, as dana axles need special tools (like a case spreader). I would go for the power-lok posi over the track-lok, its a better unit. used, you can find them for pretty cheap.
