79chevy39.5's 01-24-2007, 11:11 PM so how strong is an eaton compared to say a actualy 14bff? 77k5 01-25-2007, 02:19 AM Not as strong. The Eaton carrier will accept the FF 14 bolt 30 spline spider gears or detroit and will also accept the same 14 bolt shafts. Basically, you can use most of the best parts of the 14 bolt with the removeable third member of the Eaton :D bigassedredjeep 01-25-2007, 05:13 AM please explain why you think that the eaton isn't as strong as the 14 bolt... yeep74 01-25-2007, 05:41 AM please explain why you think that the eaton isn't as strong as the 14 bolt... DITTO In my experience they are just as strong and better ground clearance. Gear choice just suck. SlamChops 01-25-2007, 06:04 AM gear selection doesn't suck that much. most came with 4.10, 4.56 or 5.13 i believe. that's great choice to meif you find a factory 5.13, then you just have to gear the front. 1967K10 01-25-2007, 10:52 AM They're stronger IMO and offer better clearance,and easier to find 5.13's factoy :D .

You can put 14B axles and spider gears in them though. 1967K10 01-25-2007, 04:54 PM 17spline. I have some laying here in my shop. Snowbird13 01-25-2007, 05:25 PM 17spline.

Same with the van width ones. Davethorik 01-26-2007, 03:50 AM AFAIK the SRW 14bolt is the same width as the Standard eaton. Same with the van width ones. no, at least the srw and drw version are 2" narrower each than their 14 bolt counterpart. i have never seen or measured a van eaton, though. | |
