MY FRIEND HAS ONE OUT OF EARLY FORD PICKUP 30 SPLINE SEMI FLOAT POWER LOCK $200 BUCKS

ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS ON HOW STRONG THIS IS......OR ANY OPINION

Nah, none of us know if a Dana 60 is any good.

Better pass on that one.

ALL I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS BETTER THAN THE BIG BEARING NINE INCH I HAVE IN THE GARAGE(DO YOU GO TO THE NEWBIE SECTION AND BE AN A$$ JUST SO YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF)

Actually, I just said that because you posted in all caps, which is generally considered annoying and yelling.

IF it is a real early (you didn't say what year) D60 it will have coarse spline axleshafts which will essentially make the whole assembly garbage.

Find out what it came from exactly and I'm sure we can help you out.

it has a broken shaft he was running 38 with a nine" and keeped rolling housings,shafts,etc. put this in and got rear ended and broke the shaft.I am planning on getting aftermarket shafts but the power lock is brand new

how great is a power lock should i just end up swapping carrier and shafts or leave it alone

Don't think of it as a D60, but a D44 with a stronger R&P!

jeepfamily · 08-30-2004, 10:00 PM

i am going to check the bom tomarrow 603043 is 69....-5 is 3.54 detroit no spin

-6 is 4.10 detroit no spin

-1 open and all others are powerlocks the guy I might be buying from says it works great and got the rear end rebuilt with dana specs(

ford people) it only barely unlocks around corners.My problem is does it have small bearing ends or will this thing hold up alright with 38's 4.88 and an axle snapping straight 6

i havent had a problem with my 8.8 detroit with 4.56 except i am worried about my saftey with c-clip axles but I am only running 35"krawlers

jeepfamily · 08-30-2004, 10:11 PM

tim84k10 does it matter how early ford they only had them 67-69 f100 ithink 81 had a 61 and the rest are mopar,j4000(i wish i could find one),dodge the only prob is the rest had 1.5 axles and the ford had 1 5/16 which i will be upgrading but coarse shafts?????i dont quite understand

Jrod-13 · 08-30-2004, 11:03 PM

your worried about the C-clips breaking on a 8.8?(they don't it's only a jeep thing)
but yet you want to swap in another C-clip axle, with smaller shafts, less ground clearance, and the same pinion diameter...

hmmm..

jeepfamily · 08-30-2004, 11:05 PM

a clip 60 where?????

i thought that they had them in 81(i think)i thought that semi float 60's where like a toy or nine inch

jeepfamily · 08-30-2004, 11:29 PM
