Hi all, I have a question I would like to bounce off you guys. I searched through a bunch of previous threads but could not come up with a definitive answer.
Anyway, I have a 1993 Dodge W250 reg cab, long box 4X4 with the 5.9L gas engine, D60 rear and D44 front (208 t'case?). Not sure about the axle gear ratio.
What can I expect in terms of axle strength from the D44 up front? Loaded question I know but the plan would be to run a 35"-37"x12.50 tyre and keep as much of the drive train as stock as possible. I'm not trying to build a rock crawler or mud bog truck just a semi serious trail rig. Lift and body clearance is not an issue.
The stupid CAD is already giving me trouble but I was planning on either making my own cable operated locker for it or use a one piece shaft. How strong is the two piece shaft?
Thanks,
Matt.
