all good info....44's were availible until late 79/early 80.....:-D....Making the "official" switch....

I see it's missing the ever elusive vaccum hoses to the IP area.....better sell it:-D

Absolutely right, I believe the change over year was 79' aswell. Most dana 44's have small hubs just like the 10 bolt. It is a very specific few years where dana made the big hub version with external hubs. I've seen a few corporates converted aswell at the junk yard. I've personally used...

I was workin' on the truck, fuel filter, snoop around, mark balancer for reference later, and check on squeeling belts...first off the belt that loops crank pulley steering pump and alt 1 was really loose, oh what fun it was to tighten that....while I was loosening one of the many bolts to allow...

lolol, key words I did try....fuel filter(- change), 3 or 4 combos with "bleed" in it, pink wire, IP, and combos of tose words......."change" huh, that'd be tooo easy..lol:-D

Thank you sir, I know it seemed simple but try as I might I just couldn't locate it, in the future it will be easier for all and again thanks.:-D

I just spent 40 minutes typing different phrases/key words and reading what came back...still no mention of what i'm specifically looking for. I was trying to double check what i've read on the correct way to bleed air out of fuel system when filter is changed (not spin style), the first time I...

well, I was swapping to an st-85 so I thought i'd share the new and improved room gained by going to civvy battery trays.:-D

if it had a 400/208/14bolt than any shaft should work:-D

Ya, you might be on to something with that DH...but it still has a 1 year warranty...lol I'll probably pony up the cash for a new one and see if the amount for this one can just be refunded.:-D I got the st-85, and used an example by cucv85 for the change in wire location...Thanks

Well last night I had to move tools to the 1008 to get ready for work today.....I went out this morning and the glow plug relay will only kick for about 5-6 and then goes dead....batts seem good. As I played the game pushing the button for what glow time I could get, and trying to start...

14 bolt disc brakes Care to share how you've done it, i'd really like to make all mine disc......Thanks:-D

I'm not convinced, as many times as i've been told that 44 is better than corporate and I still think it's marginal, the only thing you get are slightly larger axles at 1 paticular point in that axle, and 99 out of 100 times the joint will go first. D 44's are good for jeeps and toyata's for...

it's one of the tricks I learned while swapping to the top of the truck food chain..lol. Early d44 axles used the same spindle as corporate for the 3/4 to big hub trucks. d44 axles also used a small hub 3/4 ton setup that would use the same internal hubs as 1009's with a different spindle than...

You dont have to swap the whole axle up front. If you like the gearing for your usage than all you need for the front is "big hub" style rotor/hub housings and the bearings that fit the HOUSING...the spindle is the right one. New or used locking hubs(from the source where you got the housings)...

if the military plug is diconnected than that sounds like a problem. In this instance it should be no different than my 79 gmc....the wires for all operations run along the frame rail (drivers side) to the rear, then they "split" to thier respective side...at this junction is where you plug in...

I have the little lizard isurance...they questioned thouroghly about what "type of vehicle it was" and I restated atleast 3 times.....it's a 1 ton truck that was sold to the military, not the public....exact same as an 84 civvy truck. They eventually just said ok, liability ins....42.00 a...

"your not thinkin with your dipstick jimmy" :-d

good vid.....makes me want new glow plugs:-D

Not a bad problem to tackle, you need a jack and a buddie would make it a little easier. It's all mechanical...big metal stuff, I prefer jobs like this over little tedious electrical ones. It's not that bad, you just need to see it through, and dont forget to support the back of the motor with...
