    Dodge 47RE builders

    I am about due for a tranny in my 98' 12 valve. Fluid looks and smells SMOKED and I have a 100 fuel plate that isnt stock trans friendly. I have been looking at my options, and I have already decided on most parts of the build but I know some on this board have had it done. Need to decide on...

    Hey guys, figured I would pass on the word that another competition is coming up. Im not affliated with the promoter but I figured I would pass the word on. I have been told by a reliable source that this time the rock crawl course will be constructed with shotcrete, which should be...

    Buying a rig with WA salvage/ rebuilt title?

    I have been itching for a new project and I have been considering buying a wrecked Dodge and re-building it over the winter. Has anyone been through the state patrol inspection process? I will likely be buying the rig from Co-part, does anyone have any experience with them? Here are two that...

    Does anyone have any information on this event? I have heard from several people that there is a rock crawl Sat the 7th, but nobody has a flyer or anything. Supposedly it will be a man made course?

    I have Chevy front dana 60 wheel hubs that do not have the retaining ring groove machined after the internal splines, do I need to machine the groove to run my flanges? I have summit machine 35 spline flanges. Also, is the internal spring (like the one included with longfield drive flanges)...

    Dana 60 High steer/ full hydro questions

    What kind of high steer arms are you guys running with full hydro? I was thinking of using the basic style with the bolt on spicer cap. What about Ackerman or geometry? I have a double ended 10" ram (will be de-stroked) if it matters. What about the short tie-rods from the arms to the cylinder...

    Check my axle math

    I am narrowing a chevy Dana 60 to toyota spring pad width. The toyota spring pins are 29.0" apart, and the chevy spring pads are 31.5" by my measurement. I want to use a dodge shortside axle (1.5" shorter) and a custom long side, 3.0" shorter. So 4.5" narrower total? Just making sure I am not...

    Toyota t-case carnage

    Last weekend went snow wheelin and had a great time, until the end. Broke the low range gear in my rear case and the case itself. A tooth broke off and floated around for a while, then got sucked up into the gears and broke the case. Stock gears in both cases, 4.3, auto, 4:10 gears and 44 TSL's...

    Dana 60 6.17 gear strength?

    What kind of luck are people having with the higher Dana 60 gear ratios? I was considering either 5.86 or 6.17, but I dont want to break ring and pinions. I have 35 spline yukons and drive flanges on order, I would prefer to keep the weak point the shafts or joints.

    Does anyone know a part number for a paper air filter with a 3.5" inlet and flange for a hose clamp? Or somewhere where I can order one? I was using a K&N but it lets too much dirt in. I looked through all the boxes at shucks and napa but there werent any filters with a place for hose clamp. A...

    Powerstroke mods, what next?

    I have been tinkering with my 96' Powerstroke and wondering what my next mod should be. So far I have done the DIY intake and turbo back exhaust, and I am in the process of installing a pyro and boost guage. I have ordered a chip also. The truck is a 5 speed and I am not worrying about the...

    Suppose you were going to build a 60...

    Would you do it the same way as before? I am bored and need a project. I am thinking its kind of silly to buy a sixty for 900 and not use the brakes, shafts, hubs, steering, gears, carrier, diff cover, or yoke. I have also been thinking about retubing a newer superduty axle as some of them come...

    I am shopping for a new diesel tow rig and have a few questions. I have it narrowed down to 2 types of rigs, 94-97 powerstrokes and 94-98 12v Dodges. The Dodges seem to be $1500-2000 more for the same options, are they really worth the extra $? Is there a way to tell if the track bar is loose...

    First to the funnyrocks?

    Dickwart and I made a run up to funnyrocks and moonrocks yesterday, it dumped snow the whole time. I had never been up there with that much snow before, it was kinda of fun rallying around where you usually can only just creep along. Here are the pics I got: Funnyrocks Brad and Berto by the...
