Ok. We all know the Dana 44 is pathetic.

Here's the deal. Once I broke a steering joint; once I broke the necked down area near the inner splines. But the last time, I broke BOTH simultaneously!

Who else breaks the neck down? I want to tack the caps or grind for snap rings, but damn...if I'm just going to break the inner shaft anyways, is it worth it? At least I would be saving the stub shafts (my yokes always get destroyed) but then I'll have a huge pile of Stubs and no inners.

I know I need alloy shafts....can't spring for that for a few months...what do I do till then?

Take it easy on the skinny peddal:flipoff2: Seriously I'm running 38.5s with stock spicer shafts and the old 297s and I have yet to break anything. Ya I've only been on two wheelin trips but I would consider both on the extreme side. Pumpkin Eater and the Rubicon(doing all three sluices and the soup bowl). You just need to know when to back off. I"m sure I'm gonna :nuke: something good someday but untill then I get to tell people to take it easy;) Later

go easy on the gas???? stop wheeling???? get a 60???

-Ripped a ear on the long side stub,
-sheared 1 short by the splines
-remove the ears off a short inner and stub at the same time in the sand.


I am only running 35's, 3.50 gears and a stock 351 with a 2 barrel. but my right foot is a tad heavy, oh yeah the diff is welded.

Alloy shafts are the shit. I need to get them.
