Wouldn't it have more to do with the GVW, GAWR, and combined vehicle weight if a trailer is added into the equation over the physical weight of the engine? I'm just thinking big picture here.

A rare find...or should I phrase it as a turd in the rough... :) I wonder if that was a low GVW truck with the inline 6 or 318 V8. That would be possible reasons they installed that axle in a W350 truck. When you step up to the Cummins engine, W250 and W350 rigs get the Dana 60 (which may be a...

That seems like Wikipedia garbage. I believe 1 tons had mixed front axles up to the late 60's and very early 70's. They also had things like drum brakes and closed knuckle frontends which were not exactly great in the domestic versions (Nissan, Toyota, and Land Rover made better versions)...

You kill the value of your truck...period. That is one of the great reasons to buy a non-09 Cuck in the first place. You are guaranteed to have a low geared D60 sitting up front. Every Cuck I've seen on ebay with a 3/4 front axle has been pillaged and not worth much. Plus to swap it out again...

Not to be a thorn but I really have to disagree with you. The D44 is pretty much maxed out in this application and that is with stock sized tires doing nothing but street duty. This is also going to show with your maintenance items such as TRE's, balljoints, bearings, brakes, etc. wearing out at...

I think this has changed in the last few years. I think alot of guys on Pirate that do the one ton axle setup now use a D60 or D70 from an E350 van because it has more ground clearance, disc brakes, and accepts 35 spline axles without boring out the spindles. Of course you can't buy one for...

Not sure what the F means, could be front axle or Ford TTB designation. I believe what you are describing as a D44 carrier in a D60 housing would be the D50 used on Ford Super Duties with single rear wheels for the first few years. There is no such thing as a beefed up D44. Regardless of how...

Balljoints instead of kingpins 297x ujoint which is a real ujoint...only smaller Nuff said

Remove a D60 for a POS 8 lug D44...that is just simple madness! Why not find someone with a K30 looking to swap for deeper gears? Seems like a better idea than taking one of the best axles ever made and swapping it out for one of the biggest turds produced. Guys break D44's in Yotas and Jeeps...
