It worked out good. We got hammered with snow last year and it held up fine but yes i would recommend trying to get a 24v motor. The pump runs slow off 1 batt. I am converting mine to 12v soon so i did not bother. I want the serp belt setup and i have a 250 amp powerline alt off an emt truck for...

Ok, no trolls please. Now to update ryan77 gets a partial prize. The drivers side u joint was bad and binding at 180 deg . I took a small vid ill post later of it. The truck has some wobble still. I will replace the upper kp bushings next and add a washer since i am running bigger tires. Ill...

get rid of it altogether. Use an electric LP from a 1993 Chevy K2500 6.5TD. It was designed to work with a DB2 IP and works well. The mech LPs were not a great idea on these IMHO. I get rid of them right away.

And last but not least... BTW I was mistaken. Looking the the vid now It had 15 inch superlift springs(no longer made) and a 3 inch body lift...All on a Dana 44.. .And I 4 wheeled the balls out of it. 454 Ls6.... I had a professional welder cut the axle tubes on the DANA 44 and rotate them back...

I'm gonna put the truck on jacks Sunday and start pulling stuff apart. Maybe the washer trick will eliminate the symptom or I'll see alot of yuk under the caps. I don't think it's u joints because when it was doing it I put the t case in 4x4 which would spin the axles and should have had some...

Another truck...

Oh look 44's on a D44...

yeah that was where I read up on the rebuild.

I have a video of the truck somewhere. I'll post. Atleast it was an 8 lug. I have seen guys run 44's on 6 lugs .

Also does anybody know if the spindle thread is the same size as a D44 ? I have a spindle puller for a D44 .

All the truck I had were Dana 44's. I could rip a 44 apart in my sleep. I never worked on a 60 but from what I have been reading it's no 30 minute job and the parts are crazy. The kits are 82$ per side. If I need new bottom caps that is another 44$ per side and I do not have a 7/8 hex so I can...

Do we have a sticky on doing them ? Also where to get the parts ? GM or auto parts store ?? Is there a preload or shims to them ?

Seems to be ok. Tried that this am. Its not really a bind soley. It also pulls very badly either way if you turn the wheel even slightly but the big problem is then it stops and is fine . If it would just keep doing it i could find the problem.

They seem to turn ok when i rotated them by hand. No signs of rust. Drove the truck 30 miles to work and ot was fine. I am Running 35 inch bfgs.

I never did king pins on one of these but I seem to remember they are a nightmare.

Checked those too. They are fine.

would they also cause binding ? The wobble is when making a turn and it's bad but what I don't get is all of a sudden it's gone and the truck steers mint again.

The m1008 developed a problem which has me a bit stumped. I have owned many many OBS chevy trucks and had from stock to 15 inches of lift running 44's and never seen one do what my 1008 is doing. One minute it steers fine. She'll cruise down the highway doin' 75 and I could let go of the wheel...

wow, the funny thing is when I saw the email, I deleted it without even looking at it because the title looked fake and I am a tin foil hat kinda guy. It was obviously NSA...lol... Seriously, I hope the authorities have been notified. Whoever did it needs to face the justice system. I would like...

Yeah I don't like buying something I cant drive first. changing the rockers is nothing. They are cheap and not too hard to do. The rear body support for the tailgate is a bit more involved but I have done a few of them and I got it down to a science. I cut the new one and put it in, in two...
