dana 35 ouch. Any sugestions?

dandeman · Jan 17, 2009

i got a 90 bronco i think it has a dana 35 it has a manual t-case i dont know if that makes a difference. But i was wondering what would be the best way to fix this. I know replacement what be the best option. Thats what im going to do. i was wondering how much another dana 35 front end would cost me? Anybody have one, that is good that they wanna sell? I want to be able to use the 4 wheel drive its useless having 4 wheel drive and you cant use it. Also need a front driveshaft. When i bought it didnt have on it and i thought it was because of a seal or something. Didnt think it was cause of that!!! :bad:

replace the pig and try not to high center it on any more rocks. a junkyard would be your best bet for a new diff....and you might as well grab a new driveline while your there. make sure you get a pig with the same gear ratio as you have now.

i bought it like that, i know it dont look good, how much doe u think it will cost me?

Wicked_Sludge · Jan 17, 2009

depends on the junkyard. your best bet would be just to stop by and ask.

dandeman · Jan 17, 2009

ya true, but they have to have one, most places round here dont have many b2s n the junk yard i would have to go to wichita.

any d35 from any TTB ranger, explorer, or BII will work. you can always call ahead and ask before taking a road trip.

dandeman · Jan 17, 2009

ya true thats what i was going to do. Are the dana 35s n the explorer and ranger exactly the same basically a bolt in sway. Same width etc... Ya the gears would have to be the same ill have to look for that tag on my rear diff

Wicked_Sludge · Jan 17, 2009

yes, all TTB d35's are the same. it will bolt right in.

dandeman · Jan 17, 2009

ya beside the gearing factor. Do you know about what range of gears they put in these?

Wicked_Sludge · Jan 17, 2009

anything from the weak 3.27's to the rare 4.10's. there is a 3.08 ratio available too, but i dont think those went into 4x4's...at least ive never seen any.

aw ok well when i replace it i prolly should install a 4" lift while im at it, it would be worth all the work.

Wicked_Sludge · Jan 17, 2009

a lift is a lot of extra work. you dont need to pull the pig to install a lift...so you arent saving yourself any work.

dandeman · Jan 17, 2009

i know but since i already have to replace it might as well install the lift while im under there. i was thinkin bout a dana 44 swap but this is my daily beater and i dont need a trail rig just one im not gonna get stuck in on a daily basis

Wicked_Sludge · Jan 17, 2009

a d44 really isnt worth it IMO. the d35 is a plenty strong unit and with a few simple mods can be made even stronger.

dandeman · Jan 17, 2009

the part you are calling the pig the diff is the third member right?

dana 35 ouch. Any sugestions?
