Ford exploder pads? Model says ram 2500 on dif.

 

*eyeballs all those weights on the wheels*

Dang, guy, does your truck double as a paint mixer going down the road???

I'd be seeing if that's the wheels or the tires, and if moving the tires around on the wheels might get it closer to balanced before any weights are added.

Well from those pictures, it does (to me) appear you have explorer calipers..... If you are running a 6X4.5 pattern, I would suggest that you do as "hey you" said, contact the company that did the conversion, or talk to a machine shop about drilling the stock explorer rotors to the 6X4.5 bolt pattern. Assuming it is a explorer......

FWIW, I still would have liked to have seen a picture of the actual rotor, from the wheel side, or at least a picture of the outside of the wheel.
Ill be honest, what has confused me is .
1. In your opening post you said. "I have 92 4x4 5.2l with 6x4.5 lugs. Dana 60 rear Dynatrac axles that have ford explorer pads and calipers. Which leads to solid .5in rotor 1.5in hat disc/e brake"
2. Then in post 7 you show this picture, which is not a solid rotor......
3. Then in post 14, you show this picture.

Now these are not the same rotors.......
This is part of where I am confused....
Again, it would be nice to see a picture of the outside of the wheel, and a picture of the truck jacked up with the wheel off, showing the outside of the rotor...

 

twas Dynatrac axles. Got worse last night. My buddy says even though differential housing says 60 2 bottom right of dif. He says my cover is Dana 70.
I would like to find a caliper bracket that will allow a caliper large enough for a vented rear. I.e.
2000 Durango? Ford f250? Cause these little calipers have 99ford pads but is not the explorer cal as previously thought compared to another response on this thread.
I'm really at a loss here.
6x4.5 114.3 I can't even find in my area someone willing to drill out the explorer 5lug into 6x4.5.
S.f.b.s.hassle

 

That's a dana super 60, with 35 spline axles. At least, according to the cover..... Should be numbers stamped into the axle tube, that you can decode on Dana's site.

Dynatrak should be able to tell you what rotors you need.... After all, they are the ones that built the axle.

 

I want to ask you something, and I dont mean to put you down or sound mean saying it, But you have come on this forum asking for help with a rotor, and yet you have posted several pictures, none are of the rotor on the truck, at least the face of it......
Can you pull the wheel and post a picture of the rotor? If not, just say so........ It makes a difference in what help or suggestions we can make.
From my own perspective, here are a few suggestions and answers
1. Your friend is wrong on the cover being dana 70. FWIW dana 60 and 70 use the same cover.....
2. I think that was me that thought those were not explorer calipers, but after more studying, they may well be. Its just the angle, picture quality, and the way the blue paint looked .....
3. If it was my truck, and it does in fact have explorer rotors, this is what I would do.... Buy a stock rotor, ie. rockauto is $19.60 for a wagner rotor. Take your old rotor and match it, face to face with your new rotor., mark the holes, Hit each marking in the center with a center punch, Then I would drill them out, prefer, with a drill press, but if not by hand. Also, I would buy a bottle of cutting oil, IE ridgid threading oil...... for the drill bits. Start with a small bit and move up.....
I believe this could be done, as the fit is not all that critical, the rotor centers on the hub rather then the studs.....
4. If you do not have the ability to do that, then you are at the mercy of dynatrac or whoever you can find to drill it for you.
5. You ask about caliper brackets for vented rotors, and I dont believe you will find anyone that makes those other then custom. In the 4wd world, especially modified, the 4x4.5 pattern is about as odd as it gets...

 

 

thank you. Yes I'm going to have to do exactly that by hand with a 1in tall hand held drill guide.
custom rotors lame. Caliper travel depth, lame.
Never want to hassle with this again.
Can I switch out calipers( I.e front Durango caliper bracket,caliper,and rotor which is 6x4x5) and put that in the back in my rear axle?

 

apologies yes. First pick is the vented front6x4.5 non Frankie. The back is the solid Frankie drill holeio

 

I don't think you are having trouble with the site. I think you are having trouble figuring out what to ask for.
