Performed a Dana 60 front swap over the weekend. Still setting up gears for the 14 bolt, but so far everything has been bolt in. I was a little surprised to see how much taller it sits without any suspension modification. Not much wider, should've taken some before pictures.

Been chasing down a gen2 issue, went ahead and replaced some dash lights with LED's. Don't worry, the dummy lights are still incandescent. Really should've spent more time buffing but oh well.
Things haven't been going well with the wheel bearing. P.o. claimed to have done the wheel bearings already and I don't doubt it. The spindle nuts were barely hand tight, the tit was in backwards and sheared off, the seals failed, and the whole thing was packed with sand instead of grease. Inner...
Did the rear/rear u joint yesterday and added a gp pushbutton. One day I'll get around to diagnosing the gp board but I'll likely leave the button in as a failsafe.
At this point, it is officially my daily driver. First day isn't going well. Sprung a coolant leak on the heater hose right at...
I'm up near Duluth, but I got an uncle in Fridley!
Changed my air filter today, it was worse than I thought... changed the wellman 070's that were in it for ac60g's as well. Started after 30 seconds or so in ~15° above. Not the greatest, but cranking was a little slow and I didn't have to use...

No plates! Apparently I was supposed to get a temporary paper from Washington taped in the window. Oh well.
I've been reading tons but there's just so much information and I have a hard time absorbing anything not immediately pertinent lol
Thanks, the tallest gearing I've ever heard of in a d60 or 14bff is 4.10... in fact, I've got a d80 in my one ton with 4.10's. Anyway, I'm pretty well set on a manual. Maybe I should go with the newer nv3500/4500? I once read there's an older 4 speed with od but I don't remember the model.
I'm...
That's weird, I tried posting this three times last night. I finally gave up and made a test thread this morning as well. Oh well, here are some more pictures anyway
I went and replaced all the bulbs last night, but the left rear still doesn't blink or brake light. Running lights work fine so...
