99 Ranger build

on the front 44 there are inner seals

Wait. Is there an inner axle seal for the rear d60, or just the front d44? Cuz I replaced the wheel seal on the rear axle when I had it apart. I had no clue there was an inner seal. Does that mean I gotta take it all apart again?

Theirs no inner seals on the rear 60. The pic is from my front dana 44.

Crap. I think I'll have to take it to a driveline shop to have the seals replaced. I don't know the first thing about how to correctly set the differential bearing back in there

That looks like a great day at work!

Damn that thing flexes nicely

 

[koa's93ranger]

Did you have to check the backlash when you put the front diff back in? Or did you just torque the bolts down and call it a day?

 

[john.masce]

Hell yea

I never checked the backlash when i reinstalled the diff, i just torqued the bolts back down.

 

[Ford78]

Hell yea

Thanks

You are my idle. Wish I had the time, money, knowledge, and know how to do this. Would be fun!

So I am in the middle of dropping a lot of cash on the green turd.

Do you have a problem steering your truck when its in 4wheel with your spool. I was thinking about spooling mine in the front instead of buying a locker. But that means I'm going to have to do the hydro assist sooner then later I think.

 

[Ford78]

The steering does feel a little heavyer when turning and have to take wider turns, but other wise than that i really like the spool in the front plus It was 1/4 the price of a looker. If i had a choice to do it over again i would. Its not even that bad this winter, during this last ice storm we got up here i just unlocked one hub and i got around fine.

Good to know. thanks.
