dana 60 vs. dana 44

[OHEARN.2012]

i was thinking at first i might do a dana 44 but if i can find a 60 cheap thought maybe use that is it worth the money? and how much do they usually run? parts easier to find than 77 dana 44 hd??

[mutt truck]

Well it all really depends on what tires you are planning on runing and weight. A 60 what be a good investment i think, always better to be stronger than what u need than weaker.
As far as what they run i dunno. Best to check the for sale section or maybe craigslist to get an idea.
Hope this will help you some.

[Kyle]

i think with the kind of hp ur plannin on runnin and just 35s a d44 will be plenty fine. ur not building a 500hp rig on 44s

[Blazin40s]

Then hold off n get 1.

[OHEARN.2012]

well i was too lazy to get parts for the HP i was going to originally run so i got a complete axle buts a low pinion 44 h5 from a 77 f250 if i can find a dana 44 hp cheap with 4.10 ill get that and keep this one for a backup just in case yea il be running 37s im pretty sure

[Jjay78]

with 35's as long as you keep up on the maintanance with the 44 you'll be fine, just keep a close eye on the u-joints in that axle, that's where all our problems always came from

i run a 44  on 39.5 and haven't had a promblem. But i don't drive like an a$$

[tonkatruckon44s]

your cousins about to get a 60 here this weekend with the truck he is getting from me do you know if his truck has a high pinion or low pinion dana 44

[Blazin40s]

I broke shafts on my 10bolt and 39.5s and I babied it.

[chappy]

All depends really. I broke shafts every time I went out on a 44 hp with 44in hawgs. My buddy has run 2 years on a 44hp with 44 hawgs and has yet to break anything but a u joint. He also has more power then I did with a ford racing crate engine. Both were short box regular cab f150's. I am going to attempt a 44hp again with this current truck I am building and I am going to run 44in gumbos cut like tsl's. I'm gonna go with chromoly axles from jeffs bronco grave yard. I've only got a 302 thats gonna be pushing them so hopefully I'll be good.

[Kyle]

its all in how ya drive it

[Blazin40s]

Get a 60 and b done with it!

[betterbeaters]

street truck thats played with sometimes but not a all out bogger the 44 should be fine..I have ran a few trucks with 44s or 10 bolts with 35s-44s  only broke a few just drive smart and you will be fine its a street truck so you gotta drive it home right?
