Dana 44 worth keeping?
Hey Guys & Gals,
I have a rearend problem for the second time in 8 years. I am running the stock Dana 44 which I put new ring & pinion in about 7 or 8 years ago. been hearing a strange clunking noise & found that the pinion has alot of play & the fluid is full of shavings, so it is pretty much shelled again. Not sure if the guy I had put it together did something wrong or not. What I'm wondering is should I spend the $1000 or so to have a pro rebuild it, or should I consider swapping out for another axle? I am running a mild 350 (280 horse) with a turbo 350 tranny. Is that too much power for the Dana? Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated!
