I am building my first ever Dana60 and slowly learning as I go. Got some 4340 35 spline inners/outers for the 79 Ford D60....

I wanna pick up some spicer snap tites or something along those lines...No cash for the CTM,s or superjoints..

What PN is it? I keep seeing x-260 change to x780...etc

THanks for your patience,

Thanks Billa, cant believe I missed that before.

One last quick one, are the caps able to accept full-circle clips provided I can find some with the same diameter as the caps?

 

[GiS]

Called a local shop, said he didnt have 5-733x listed and said the PN I needed was 5-806x....

????

 

[sw99]

5-806x will work, they are non-greasable though. SPL55-4x is the new number for the one you asked for (5-733x)

 

[shortsub]

im running the 5-806x's in my choromoly's and yeah they are non greasable. to run the full circle clips all u have to do is buy the clips seperatly and slap them in. Later Ryan

THanks for the replies, 806 it is!

Ryan, are the Ujoint caps already machined and able to accept full circle clips? Where did you find full-circles with the diameter needed for the 806 caps?

Thanks!!

i bought mine through Greg @ 4wd factory his service is great- he sent the chromos/gears/and ujoints within 2 days. instead of using the c clips, you just use the full circles that he sells. BUT REMEMBER TO SLIDE THEM ON THE UJOINT BEFORE YOU PUT IT IN THE AXLE YOKES. dont ask why i know :shaking: . but yes to answer your question these full circles require no machining- theyll just take the place of a normal c-clip. Later Ryan

The caps already have a groove machined 360* around for the c clip, just replace them with full circle clips. I know you can buy the 44 clips at ace, but idk about 60's...search and you'll find the diameters (or measure).

1.375 snap rings fit right on the caps

bringing back to the top. Jope, what joinst and setup did u end up going with? Same boat here, getting Yukon 35 spline outers for my Ford, not sure which joints to go with, greasable vs non greasable. What is the difference? Why run which type? I checked billa's great articles, but am not figuring out which one I should go with. Non greasable are supposedly stronegr (no needles to deal with?) Joe, which clips did u use?

Thanks,
Gui

Gui, I nding up running the 806x non greasable. I had to pull the caps off with channel locks so i dont think much crap is getting past those seals. Should be ok...Plus I've seen a few guys blow shafts, twist splines etc and the spicer survives. We'll see how it lasts.

As for full-circle clips I went to my local transmission shop with an old cap, dug thru the bins and found some PTO clips that would work. $0.38 if I remember

Non-greasable still have the needles, just not the passages for the grease to travel (whick makes the joint weaker). I used the non-greasable type before I got my Longfields, and I ran some deep water. When I changed the joints out, there was still good grease in the old spicer joint (after maybe 6 months).

 

[geberhard]

Thanks for the heads up, just got a set of 806...plus some 35 outers and MileMarker hubs from 4wdfactory.com Greg is agreat guy to work with... I think some orange bling knuckles are possibly in order

Gui

 

[GiS]

LOL, too funny you would say that, I painted my stock Ford knuckles orange hehe, we'll see how long they last with steering arms and hydro assist.

Gui, check out your local transmission shop, so simple and cheap to do full-circle clips and definitely worth it I think.

GiS, you mind listin' your prices for all the axel shafts, 35 spline hubs, and u-joints. I have the same axel as you with stock shafts right now but I've got a Detroit locker I'm about to throw in....so, I could use an upgrades.

I'd love to go CTMs, but I'm in the same boat you are.

 

[geberhard]

Check out www.4wdfactory.com, ask for Greg, there is a package for Chromo yukon 35 splines, hubs and joints for about $380.

Gui

 

[TAWL_BOY]

Awesome...thanks.
Is that inners and outers?

 

[TAWL_BOY]

I clicked the link and answered my own question. Its plus 40 for chromo Yukons but not bad.

 

[GiS]

Hey Tawl, never dealt with 4wdfactory, I got mine from Peak Empire, they are a great bunch of guys! Also had great dealing with PORC. Both vendors are right here on Pirate.

Happy trails,

-Joe
