Just have to go and order u bolts and such for the front and rear. hopefully i will feel like working on it tomorrow.

Was going to work on it today and get some pics, but had to work all nite.... and it is snowing like crazy. Just dont feel like walking out to my shop and not getting much done.:-(

You are absolutely rite. Like I said, I am a little hard headed and have to talked into doing things different from time to time.

I have been doing a lot of soul searching the last couple of days. Although I have already put the 44 under the front, I think this weekend it is going to get the 60 back. It is not hard for me to make these swaps, so, I am going to try the 4.56's with the 37s and see how I like them. I already...

Wow guys, I leave for 24 hours and the opinions and experence just keep coming!! I love it!!.Someone said to find someone else with a civi K30 that wants the lower gears and trade them. That is a great Idea... and I thought of that... and searched and searched in my neck of the woods... no dice...

Actually I have a lot of faith in the 3/4 ton Dana 44. Just finished putting all new outboard bearings in it. Brakes are in a-1 condition. Bolted it up this afternoon. I took it around the block and it seems to be fine. Waiting on shocks and new sway bar end bushings. I will be testing this too...

HoJoPo, that is the kind of info I was looking for. Thank you. In light of this info, I will be putting that 8 lug 44 under my 1/2 ton instead. I will get pics of the lift as I am doing it. Thanks again HoJoPo!!

So, no one has any ideas on the stregenth of the Dana 44? I think it should handle the weight as long as I don't go cowboy on it. I will be installing it tomorrow. Pics to come.

dstang, I would just feel b etter crusing at that speed with my RPMs a little lower. I have never had my truck over 55 MPH and I felt like I was abusing the crap out of the engine. Like I said, I do not hammer on this truck, I have an 85 civi 6.2 1/2 ton lifted with 33s for the nasty stuff. By...

Thanks for the advise HoJoPo, that modification will probably be done in the next couple of years.

I do not beleive I am "hacking it up." All of the modifications I am doing can be reversed easily. I love driving my truck, and I live in the middle of nowhere. I want to be able to drive on a 65MPH two lane and not be run over by some water hauler in an 18 wheeler. The irreversable damage to...

I have an 85 M1010 with the common 4.56:1 gears and rear locker. The 4.56:1 gears are too low for me living out in Wyoming, so, I am going to swap out the front Dana 60 for a Dana 44 with 4.10:1 gearing with Hummer 37s.Will also be doing the rear with a corp 14 FF same gear ratio. using blocks...
