Should be some numbers stamped into the passenger side axle tube. Can determine what you got from those.

 

Get the BOM number off the axle and run it on dana spicers site. Theres a couple different BOM search tools

 

Installed the AFR gauge, found out I don't have the right cord to connect it to my laptop. I'll order that on payday next week... but just general driving its almost spot on around 14.7, but I went WOT once and it scared me. Running really lean at WOT... not doing that again until fixed.

 

I took the time last night to see what you are having to go through for this effort. Thanks for sharing (I was reading up on the company Innovate). I have accidentally red lined one, back in my manual days. K.

 

Yep BOM search on Dana Spicers site will tell you everything. I still need to do that for my axles haha.

 

Been talking to the guy I got the front axle from. I can still get that transfer case for $100 and the rear 70 for $300. The 70 I have laying around is out of a 1993 3/4 ton Ram. I haven't checked the numbers on it, but from some general research it doesn't look like there are many gear choices for it.

So I might try to sell it this summer and just get this matching axle from this guy's 97. They have better gear choices it looks like it. But I can't pass up a NP241DHD for $100 lol

 

Yeah id grab that T-case as quick as you can lol, thats a smokin deal!

 

Ordered a new cord to be able to hook up my AFR to my computer. $41 hurts the wallet, but I need this done soon.

Anyway, I have an internship 300 miles away from home, so there won't be any time to work on it or play with it until I return in August. I leave on Mother's day, so time is getting thin here. I'll hopefully pick up that transfer case next week.

I'll be hitting the offroad park Memorial weekend, and I finally found someone to trailer it! The past 5 times I had to drive it down there, be nice to it, and be able to drive it back. Now I get to actually beat the crud out of it!! Gotta show up those Jeeps somehow! And on the likely chance something breaks, I'll have the trailer and a couple spare axles waiting at home for it .

This post barely had anything to do with my "build" but I needed to get some thoughts out of my head.

 

Well that Dana 70 I have is a Dana 70U which is hard to find gears and parts for and what you can find is expensive. The Dana 70 out of that parts truck is also a 70U... So I might just say eff it and use my buddy's Dana 60 rear that's out of a 78 F250.

 

lol hard? Depends on what gears, which you didn't say. You can get 5.13s from West Coast Differential, 4wheelparts, Justdifferentials.com, etc. master install kits roughly about $150. There are no 5.38.
