Those springs are indeed stiff. Put a thousand pounds of dirt in the bed though, and it rides like a cadillac. (fuel economy suffers though.......)
As for the current situation where would be the best place to find the spiders so I can get the beast back on the road again. I was trying to find Yukon spiders or anything at this point but I'm having no luck finding what I need. Every set I find is for a open diff not for a trac-lok. Would I be better off just getting a rear off ebay thats pulled out of a truck already? Im tight on money and would rather not spend over 500 and I'm not having much luck. :( |
Maybe a used one out of junkyards in your area? Finding one that has the parts you need might be fun though...... Dodge Dealer?
Something else you may consider is one of the 'lockers' that actually replace the spider gears. Might be cheaper than dealer parts in any event. |
There's a u-pull-it 10 minutes from my work, which is where i went the last time and pulled that rear which i thought was for mine but seems to be the light duty rear for the 2500 like you said earlier, dodges are hard to find there and when they are there, they are stripped apart.
As for the locker i found this and it's cheaper then the rebuild kit for the dana 60 and it comes with a koozie! :) Would this be a more reasonable purchase then a rebuild kit? i would imagine it would take half the time to install http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dana-60-Spartan-Locker-30-Spline-SL-D60-30-w-Koozie-Posi-Axle-D60-/221878431454?hash=item33a8fc2ede&vxp=mtr Or would this be a better option? http://www.ebay.com/itm/MONKEY-GRIP-LUNCHBOX-LOCKER-DANA-60-30-SPLINE-/261985337302?hash=item3cff8affd6&vxp=mtr |
Think I like the spartan better. :) I have actually heard of them.
and.... KOOZIE!!!! Whatever that is...... :D |
That's what i was thinking too, it also seems like it would be an easier install then the other one....:icon_goofygrin:
And the koozie will be much use to keep my cola nice and cool! I appreciate the help it was much needed!! And will have to order this once I get home! :icon_dance-twist: |
Posting from work??? Shame on you. :D
