Re: Dana 44 Front axle no oil?

Thanks for the info... I was thinking if I found an axle with my proper gearing I wouldn't have to take it to a shop which would save me a few bucks. However if I want to reuse my powr-lok unit Ill have to take it in to a shop anyways. Im thinking what I may end up doing is going with the 4.10 axle I found, and completely rebuild it with a new ring and pinion in my 4.56 gear. Ill replace all the bearings and put new clutches in the powr-lok so everything is good to go. It will be expensive, but then it will be done and Ill never have to worry about it again. I know it will be an awesome upgrade for my truck, and I dont mind spending the money on the truck because I plan to keep it for a very long time.

The guy with this 4.10 axle says he also has a master cylinder and prop. valve out of a 1970 truck which was disk brakes and 4x4. Does anyone know if that will work?

Thanks again.. Ill update my progress as I go along
