Subject: Dana 44 Rebuild, any suggestions? by Steve40th on 2022/7/7 21:10:22 After extensive datalogging, and the tuner working to tweak my engine a little, I decided to look at the underside. Well, U Joints are solid, spicers from about 3000 miles ago. They were the proper ones everyone recommended on many forums. Anyways, I moved the wheels back and forth while I had the car in neutral. The diff is definitely clanking. I recorded it with the phone. hard to tell but, with hand on diff, or a screwdriver, I can here allot of metal clanking. Not sure what would be wrong in the D44, but it was rebuilt with new gears by Ikerds before he passed in early 2000's. Its seen its fair share of drag racing in Hawaii, but nothing since it shut down in 2005 and or since I have been back on mainland, in 2012. Just need a recommendation of a rebuilder, or one laying around. I have 3.33 gears, used. Just looking at options. In all honesty, 3.73 are too much for the 396LT1. Lots of rpms at 80mph.. |
