1 3/8 for the dana. Had to buy one of those myself in 3/4 inch drive. There tight... I was after the power lok and gears and the yard guys turned the truck over for me as I couldn't get the leverage needed under the truck to break the pinion nut loose. Dont worry the truck was worked over before they flipped it.
