Dana 70 Power-loc in a 60? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Will the power loc from my rear 70 fit in my front 60?
Something tells me no. Thought I would ask anyway.

If yes any reasons not to? Open right now, can't do locker yet.

No. The D60 and D70 use different diameter ring gears, pretty much everything but the diff cover on the D70 is much larger.

Yes, you can. It is a bit of work though. I have yet to do it personally, but look forward to doing it for a customer someday.

Yes, you can make one fit, but that's not exactly the same as just swapping one into a D60 like the OP was asking.

Thought of it at work today while driving around.

I think the spline count would be different on the axles any way.

I thought the gear sizes were different wasn't sure about the carrier.

and there are a few different carrier widths, bearing diams, spline counts and offsets.

if you were looking to buy one that would fit new its one thing, then you have a choice to compair and pick the right one.

the odds that you have the right one that is going to work in your setup are slim.

if your coming to sacramento any time soon you can buy my dana 60 powerlock (posi), i replaced it with an ARB (was for 4.56 gears). was still in good shape. might be willing to trade for some AR-15 parts if ya got any.

fwiw.

if i remember right the ring gear for the d60/70 use the same bolt pattern but the power lock carrier has a larger od register for the id of the gear, a few min on a lathe can solve that issue.

Country69 · 08-17-2012, 10:13 PM

Toyin with the idea since I have one laying around. Just occurred to me that is on the wrong side of the gear split for my 4.88s.

If I don't use it I have a bunch of extra parts to stick in classified.

I'm such a friggin pack-rat breaks my heart to get rid of stuff. Got boxes of extra parts from the jeep too.
