broken axel

[bigun]

Is a dodge dana 60 going to have enough offset? I know we originally tried to run a centered 9 inch and found that even in a Dana 20 equipped FSJ that the rear was offset to bypass the gas tank with the drive shaft. That is why I ended up with J-20 axles in the first place and you know where that led to!

80-91 FSJ uses centered rear punkin axles. The D60 will fit fine.

seems like it's the drivers side that usually goes,too. wonder if the crown of the road has a factor in that.

i overfill mine to force more oil to the bearing.

Sounds good I guess all of them around here are 70s

282K miles! Sounds like it held up just fine, just old like alot of our stuff.

I have towed some heavy loads with Wally over the years. Most recently 40 bales of hay on a 16' car trailer. The axles on Wally are original except a rebuild with all new bearings in 2002 with 3.73 gear change then R&R bearings in 09 after the other axle came out. Also, we have been running Royal Purple in axles and tcases since 2002 sans the QT stuff. If I remember right these D44s have about 282,000 miles on them.

y'know,it seems the AMC20 rear axles don't spit the shafts out like the danas' do.

Yeah you don't hear about as many FSJ M20's breaking shafts.

Wow...I learned something today!

I have a pair a J20 axles to go in my '82 J10.
Maybe I will run my M23 for a while longer after I get it running again.
(whole lot of IF's and WHEN's in that statement)

Like I mentioned elsewhere....

I hope after a while that you will forgive Wally, repair his quarter panel, install some 3/4 ton full floating axles and take him back out to above the treeline for some clean air and mental refreshment.

I am glad you and Luna are Okay!
