dana 60 front axle swap

[7.3turbodiesel]

Does anyone know of a good guide to doing a dana 60 front axle swap into my f250.

I did the same swap in my 1996 F250 it was pretty easy did it my self in 4 hours. The dana 60 was out of a 1997 F350 all suspention brake's etc are all the same.

my truck is a 95 but the front end is out of a 94 i think it should be fine

 

[IDSTROKER]

yep no problem Just make sure that the gear ratio's is the same front and rear.

 

[7.3turbodiesel]

yea their both 4 10 gears

 

[IDSTROKER]

Everything should go in just fine only thing that i did that you might is the front driveline that is on the IFS has a u-joint on each end. you want to get a driveline out of a F350 it has a u-joint on 1 end and constant volcity joint on the other. If you don't it will probably viberate and be noise.

Well Your good to go It's really not that bad to do just get some good jack stand and lift the whole front of truck off the ground. And start turning wenches.

I took the diff cover off and i found some water in their. whats the best way to clean inside their? Do i use brake clean to wash it out and then just refill it back up with 80/90 gear oil? Or is their something i put in their before i put the gear oil back in?
