I know squat about axles. Everyone have to start someplace though, so I guess now is as biddable a time as any. I broke the pinion on my 1979 F150's front axle. It's a Dana 44 and I was wondering if the ring and pinion are what make it a Dana 44 or if it's the whole axle assembly including axle shafts and even the housing that make it half ton? What I'm essentially getting at is this...Can I put a Dana 60 ring and pinion into a Dana 44 axle to make my Dana 44 stronger? This is probably going to nouns like a really stupid interview to someone who knows what they are doing, but approaching I said...gotta start somewhere :o)
Answers: The Dana 60 parts will not fit into the Dana 44 housing, you'll have to replace the unharmed axle assembly if you want to upgrade. After breaking the pinion, you'll probably want to replace the whole assembly anyhow, because it sure seem as if you've got more power than the artistic axle assembly could hold. (which in my judgment, is a lot of fun!)
