Re: Axle Options

Basically what mcm said but mine was 800$ I wasn't sure I over paid but it seems I didn't mine was 100% complete as well and my 86 D60 was 850$ with matching rear axle, everything I got all had 4.10s to match my stock gears which is what you'll find it most 3/4 tons or 3.73s

If you stick with 3/4 ton, just upgrade the outer assembly as described in the link above... If there's nothing wrong with the front axle, you would be taking a chance on an unknown part if you swap in another... I would guess 3.73 is common for the 3/4 ton... if you want to pay the $$ for a D60, I think the 4.10 is more common. Average asking price is $1000...

after they did all their "mild mods" they were getting over 500 hp
210/218@.050 isn't so scary for towing in a 6.0L. Good read.

Re: Axle Options

yeah thats a good article, I think im going to try and follow it when the time comes. save me some headache and money being that they tested everything on the dyno and suggest the best part to slap on.
