well I will have to try to figure out what carrier is in it so I know what parts to look for. I have a friend that has some dana 70 parts but who know if they will fit or now
As for the cost. Well I looked last night and the cheapest 14 bolt axle I found uses was 250 and the cheapest 488 gear for about 185 shipped. So I am going to be on the look out for both and hope that the 70 holds till then.
