Dana 60 FDU ....FITS with Extensive Modifications!!!

[orion]

Kinda, the 5.38 HP60 arrived, and CV pinion yoke, waiting on the E-locker...
Ill give a real update in 2 weeks (KOH spectating is the priority right now).

May also need to modify my new oil pan on the 5.2 engine.

It's been more than two weeks...

Is this awesomeness complete?

A local shop got picked to be on one of those "gear head Sunday morning shows" years ago. The owner told me they had to trailer the truck back because they only installed one side of the parts. Once the video was shot, thanks for coming guys. Got free stuff and was on TV, cool, I guess.

All of those shows are a disaster in real life. So many shoddy things are done because they need to meet a TV production schedule and watching the hours of tedious work required to do it right would be a snooze fest for viewers.

Yep, almost done. I been busy building a F-800 truck for work, and with other things.
Last week, I took the parts to my favorite 4x4 off road shop up in Washington (Olympic 4x4 supply) and had their best tech install everything. Had them use a solid spacer instead of a crush washer, so I can change yoke easily w/o teardown. So it's together, but not installed, yet...

Need to have the hole machined 1/4" on Drivers side, to let the CV flange sit in a recessed pocket, for seal protection and for perfect spline engagement.

Then Ill do some test fitting, fab up some mounts...then it's ready for critical axle measurements for the intermediate and CV center axle bars. And lastly, a new front driveshaft made.

In not hurry to "slap it together" and would much rather get EVERY possible issue worked out before I move to the next step(s)...
