Ok!?
I have an 8.8 out of an explore. with disc brakes and a factory posi trac! It was going in my 99 daily driver project..maybe better find another..
So you guys dont like the dana 44 hp front axles? I have bent the front hp 30. Ihave also worn out 3 sets of unit bearings. At $100 a side they arent cheap to replace..Yeah i know warranty...well they only warranty them for a yr.....and they go bad at 13 months
So Im looking a the cost of those And thought why not do a 44 swap...but I guess they suck...but 60 fornt are big and bulky and never wanting to run bigger than a 35 on this jeep I cant see the justifcation. So i have thought about doing the hybrid
9" I have thought hard about redoing the 30hp thats in it after doing said trussing to the housing. I have had killer luck with it..Im not going to say its never going to break but to date all I have done was swap out the u-joints in the axle shafts to some brute force joints and never have had a problem.I just cant see spending the $1200 for the lock out hubs..I guess its not a hugh deal..just thought a 44 would be better..I want to regear the axles and do locker but I guess i will run the 8.8 and redo the 30
with that said..I while ago I read in JP that some one made a locker that use 44 axle shafts..it was a hybird deal. I dont remember who made it but they said it would make the 30 pretty stout. The abs isnt a big deal. Ithought about removing it..i saw some where also about doing an S-10 rotor/caliper swap? has any one ever done this...
