I have read here that the pinion bearing on a HP dana 60 can starve for gear oil when you tilt it up and point it at the transfer case, when used as a rear axle, even seen it recomended to go to the Tere 60 housing because of this. I have a CJ2A with 350, SM420, and Dana 300(4-1), My wheelbase is 85 " at present with leaf springs, so I will have to point it at the transfer case and run a CV joint. I read in a 4sale section some where that this person had had his housing modified to to fix this. I have searched every where for this with no answer. Any body know if there is a fix, or where a description is?
I have a 14 bolt I could run and put the 60 in the front. But I can get Dana 44 parts and build that for the front much cheaper, as all I have is a HP 60 housing inner knuckle to inner knuckle. My tires are MTR 35's now, and dont see any thing over a 38x12.50 TSL in the future. And I plan on running this on the street also, trailering not a good option at present.
Would like some input on this, I want to get this part of my build up done and I'm sorta stuck here, as the I can see the CJ5 44 and 30 aren't going to cut it. Thought about building a scout rear, with the Warn full floater, I have that in the 44 now, and should be able to do this with just new axles.
Comments or thoughts. Or flame the hell outa me.
