NY eaton ho52 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bigrigpardo · 10-11-2011, 03:02 PM

got an eaton ho52 out of my 71 k20. worke perfect. new bearings. breaks hardware seals wheel cylinders cut drums. comes with extra set of break shoes. worked great drove with it everyday. thought i heard a noise in it. so i bought a 14bolt ff disc. but when i did the tear down and pulled the wheels off. one axle bolt was rolling in the center cap of the rim. so noise was nothing. ratio is 4.10 open have the extra set of break shoes too which are hard to get. axle is straight and ready to roll for a long time. only thing missing is the shock mounts. i needed them for the 14 bolt. asking 250.

Where did you order your parts from? I have an HO72 and have searched the world over and can't find a damn thing for it.
It's a great rear. They both are. Very heavy duty for duallys and 4x4's.

very true...not as hard to find as it seems... I have an Eaton52 and a Dana60...I prefer the Eaton really.. I think its more "beefy" and sturdy.

bigrigpardo · 10-12-2011, 09:19 AM

its a great rear. i just thought it blew up. i had all ready spent the money on the disc 14boltff so i said screw it and did the swap.

well the prob is... whole rear ends weigh in at a light 400 lbs. I am in Indiana... Freight charges would make anyone faint...lol I just want the posi setup because I already have an Dana60 I am trying to get rid of with leaf suspension and it has all new brake hardware like yours... Hard fittings and hoses... soo yeah

HeavyMetalChevy · 10-12-2011, 10:35 AM

If I cant get rid of mine I'm going to cut the pumpkin take the brakes off and scrap it... I can get close to 100 scrap... Steel is around 24 cents a pound.. 400x $ ).24 = 96.. ya' know?

bigrigpardo · 10-12-2011, 02:14 PM

Hey I have a freight team now and can ship this for you and any potential buyer. You would just have to secure it to a skid/pallet. It is really affordable especially with your selling price.

Shaun1162 · 03-22-2012, 11:40 AM
