Dana 60 Axle Rebuild & Upgrade - Reckless Wrench Garage
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 авг 2024
- The Dana 60 axle under the Stuburban needed some stronger parts and some TLC. We show you how to completely disassemble the Chevy Dana 60 axle and put it back together. The open differential gets upgraded with a beefy Yukon Grizzly locker, the axles get a chromoly shaft upgrade, and we installed Yukon Hardcore Locking hubs. Yukon Gear and Axle had some of the best parts available and we upgraded/rebuilt nearly every component on this Dana 60.
Parts used in this build:
YGLD60-4-35 Yukon Grizzly Locker
YHC70001 Yukon Hardcore Locking Hub set
YA W46100 Yukon 4340 Chrome-Moly replacement outer stub
YA W46100 Yukon 4340 Chrome-Moly replacement inner axle
YA W48208 Yukon 4340 Chrome-Moly replacement inner axle
YA W48210 Yukon Master Overhaul kit for Dana 60

I am so glad I’m not the only one that absolutely hates chrome!! Every one I no says they love chrome & it looks so pretty!! I had a buddy that had a blazer that had a chrome differential cover!! He was going down the hyway & it started to leak on him & he didn’t no!! It ended up locking the rear end up solid & ended up rolling the blazer & totaling it!! He was in the hospital for a couple weeks but finally was able to make it back home!! He was so lucky!! I can tell you he won’t even but one piece of chrome on a vehicle now!!
I’m not completely against chrome, but I am familiar with its inability to seal properly. It can be made to seal with a little work.
I grew up around muscle cars and chrome; I like it in moderation.
Just bout spit my water out when you said "feel comfortable running 37's". I know many guys with similar setups on 44" tires and wheel the shit out of them and have never broke a thing.
Y'all done great, explaining functions and installation very well. Nice job fellows, hell I could even follow those instructions. Once again, Nice job.
Good Stuff, Great Tips👍🏿😀
I love u can still read the bar code on these Ol southern beauties
Loved the long and informative video. I look forward to watching you jump on that rear end. Gotta make sure to get that rear end properly aligned so nothing gets damaged when you are vigorously banging it......
On a more serious note, that ending was epic, Chris. Loved the randomness.
Josh Lind thank you for the continued support! This video is a little different than what we have done in the past. It was long and had more step by step and information than usual. Glad you liked it!
RecklessWrenchGarage For sure. You guys nailed it. Personally I prefer more hands on and descriptive. You are by far my favorite mechanical related you tube channel. I actually enjoy watching your channel more than roadkill, because you are both everyday guys with obligations and average budgets. It makes for realistic videos.
I made a case spreader & I was glad that I did!! I have seen a guy do several axels using a big hydraulic press!! By gently pressing on the housing with the hydraulic press it will spread the case!!! Definitely check your Carrier bearing races!! One of them are none for coming loose in the housing & spinning in the housing causing them to wear the housing out!! I took a 4.10 gear out of my Dana 60 & installed 4.56 gear along with an ARB locker!! I also put all new stuff in the axel!! The only thing I have not done yet is up grade the outer 30 spline axel shaft to the 35 spline & put the Yukon lock outs on!! I will do that when ever something happens to one!! I do love the Yukon lock outs so I might end up doing sooner though!! I have 5 Dana 60 axels but they are getting way harder to find them for sure!!! Awesome detailed video guys!! Way to go!!!
Excellent video. Using this tutorial to rebuild the Dana 60 on my Dodge first gen Cummins farm truck.
I did the truss, high steer and link mounts on the D60 for my Nissan Patrol. Not looking forward to doing the gears. You guys kinda helped ease my anxiety...a little.... My current favorite RUclipsrs!
Awe, shucks. 😆
The gears are a little intimidating in the beginning, but it’s really not bad. If you have an axle that already has gears installed, use all the existing shims as a starting point. If you have an empty axle and you’re putting gears in, you get to start with a guessing game.
We highly recommend using setup bearings, or making some; It saves a ton of time.
A case spreader is handy, but not necessary. Just remember to add preload if you’re able to drop the carrier in without a spreader.
Great video...that axle is beyond fixed....it’s futurized.....
Very cool Chanel! Not sure if you know this but you can weld nodular cast iron housings with nickel filler rod using tig and it won’t crack
Dropped by again to rewatch this video
Wow it’s a trip to see it done out of the vehicle I’ve done hundreds of gear sets never like that
Outstanding! Thank you for sharing this video. Yukon for all the Mall parking lots. 👍
those look like warn hubs, mine broke exactly like that. you dont need to take the guts out to remove the locking hub. another trick is to put the spindle nut back on and use it to slide hammer the seal out as you remove the hub
Pinion depth first, then set lash with oe shims. Should be extremely close
i got ford 70 high boy with the dana 60 and 80 under it good body had a bad 429 that some one put in it but i'm going back to a fe block but got the rig cheap 250 bucks made my day
Sounds like a good deal. 👍🏻
Put in a big block chev, you won't be disappointed.
We used to wedge open wrench on the lock nut across flat ang turn the hub.
Hi guys. I never use a case spreader if you use a wrench on the ring gear bolts to hold the carrier still and spin the pinion gear using assistant and prybar/pipe wrench/whatever you can use for leverage. The pinion gear will pop out the carrier Everytime with ease!
What trick do you use to put it back in with out the spreader under a truck?
@@asherdie brass drift punches or a deadblow hammer never had an issue getting them back in. In extreme cases you can use the main caps and bolts to bring them in.
@@amsdrivelines had a dodge front 60 that required a spreader, no amount of beating and cussing worked.
@@asherdie might had it set to tight? Idk I've worked on alot of them and never had an issue. But there always an exception
@@amsdrivelines that old dodge was an exception to a lot, and that's why it's gone. Lol
saw the stuburban in fourwheeler magazine, very nice
Easy way to get the rear bearing and seal out in one peace , is after removing outer bearing put the spindle nut back on then slide the housing down and pull it'll catch the inner bearing and remove the seal nicey nice..
Cool vid...enjoyed it. Love to get one of those old kingpin D60's and fab it up for my JK.
You guys should have more subs
Great work guys
That was what I said 1200 subs ago. I still agree. These guys are doing a great job.
Awesome video! I saved it for when I upgrade to tons.
like the way you did the disassembly of the axle
I'm working on my 78 Chevy blazer front inner seals what a fn mess .but i will like it when im done..
ps, like the video.
Now *THAT* was a fine fine fine video . Excellent technical content . More . Much more of this type of video please . Loving the longer length (That's what she said) . It just seemed to fly by . Very educational to a dumb Limey like myself. LOL .
Thanks .
Fattrucker
Hold on to the mallet and pull"🤣🤣💀
Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming!
I can smell this video
You put your carrier in the fridge.
I drop my ring gear in hot water.
Either way is better than pummeling the two together with a mallet, right?! 😎👍
Thanks for the excellent video!
Don't understand all of it but thank you for the video injoed it!!
Great video, guys!
Great video, all the best from Sweden
Thanks for the spindle removal tips 😂
Any time. 😆
In all honesty, we’ve never had one come off that easy.
RecklessWrenchGarage I can imagine
I was angry when I saw that..... taking apart my axle it took about 4 days to do it.....started with a mallet, then a sledge with a block of wood, then about a day or two using 2 bottles of map gas and an air chisel
I can’t say I’ve ever had that much trouble; however, I have had to chisel the spindles off of axles I’ve worked on before. This one certainly caught me by surprise.
Dude Kris it's Shane from Vail az I went backwards on the freeway to save you
Was that the night I blew the engine in the Integra? 😆 You’re Brandon’s cousin, right?
Loving this content
Great Video Guys!
It would be much easier just to use a pinion depth gauge than to paint your ring gear and do it two or three times. I also noticed that you didn't do pinion run out to make sure you have proper torque spec on your pinion bearing. Nice video though, very informative.
Love the humor. And great video. Are you guys out of NM?
We were, now we’re in TX and CA.
When you guys do the rearend it woukd be nice to show the detail work.....show how an exsplain the process of backlash an detail spec assembly......thanks guys
You wouldn't happen to know your wheel mounting measurements hub to hub wheel mounting surface .I got 77 on my dually hub 60 with high steer .just trying to make sure I got both wheels straight .
Great instruction!
Hey I came across a 2017 Dana super 60 for my solid axle swap for my dmax..and the gear shop is having a difficult time finding bearings for that front axle upon further research 2017 and up the bearings are bigger for example a 10" ring gear, 1/2" axle tube thickness 3.75" axle tubes the steering u-joints are 1550 however everything else on the outside is the same as 2016 and down
Ever try to change the axle seal by the 4x4 disconnect (passenger side) without pulling all the guts outa the pumpkin ? Having problems
I would like to see how you make a steerable Dana 60 Rear axle. Since this was made over 5 years ago, you probably have moved on to better things. Good video though. BTW. What year did that Dana 60 come out of?
I’m still running the same axle, it’s just a little bent from jumping now. It came out of an 87 v30 (crew cab pickup).
Very nice
almost seems like you guys knew what you were doing lol...id like to see you guys fix 14 bolt leaky hub seals..they will be the death of me. speedi-sleeve or some sort of repair for this nonsense.. ..great video as always!
We know a thing or two, the rest we just play by ear. Lol
The suburban may have 14b hubs later on, so it’s possible we may have something that could help.
any plans to beef up the D60 knuckles and inner C'S? Cant wait to see what you guys come up with next
At this moment, we’re just trying to get it operational. We may add to the Cs and knuckles, or upgrade, later. At the very least, we’ll add to the steering arms to make them double sheer.
GREG LEBLOND the newer gm seals are unitized they don't actually sit on the surface of the spindle thus they don't get ripped up if your spindle is not smooth and requires no speedy sleeve .
@@yerwrng I have the new design on my 14 bolt now.. havent run the axle yet but they look like they work much better
You can comfortably run 42s on a stock front 60 shafts. You can run 37s on a Dana 44.
Completely depends on the weight of the rig, the traction of the terrain, how much Torque the engine makes, and how carfull you are with your right foot.
Did you replace the inner axle seals and just not show it ? Or are you gambling you won't be puking 80/90 out the tubes ?
Awesome videos guys 😎 just found your channel and am looking forward to watching your other videos and the new ones coming, definitely a subscriber 👍
Charlie Bardo we did replace them, we just didn’t get video of it. The old ones were trash. We used a long piece of tubing through the axle tube to hammer them in place.
I am happy to be a new subscriber. Informative video.
Very good video, thank you.
Nice!
good job
Thing is beef!
I don't take much stock in that needing pre heat 300-400 degrees on the differential to weld mild steel to it and the reason being is I've welded 14 bolt tubes to the center chunk in 40 degree weather no pre heat and no post blanket wrap , welded Ford dana 60 knuckles up with mild steel plate and welded high steer arms directly to them intact that was my first welding of mild steel to a cast iron and I did post wrap but they left out in 30 degree weather . I've not had one of those welds crack . The only true benefit I see with 400 degree torch is it burns much of the grease off for weld prep ...I just used dawn dish detergent and then a wheel until it shines like new then weld away being careful not to get it to hot and warp .
Thanks for the video.
odd that the Dana 60 on the Ford Fronts are backwards the the GMs. Nice work !>
You guys are awesome
You AF ASM? Box and stenciling looks very familiar.
Guess I didnt need a case spreader, I about caught the diff with my teeth haha
🤣 we completely understand
No Matter wtf , U Allway's put New Seal's in !!
Can u help me ? In gringa to put a solid Axel to my Chevy silverado 2001 4x4 2500hd 6.0
Man I cant wait to double lock my fj62 so i never get stuck in the mall parking lot again
i like the part where you removed the spindle hahahhahahah
Yea, that was the first time I’ve ever had a spindle come off without a fight. Neither of us were expecting that.
what modal jeep and what kind of jeep will inner change {complete Housing } an all with my 2000 jeep cherokee... How do i tell a xj from other jeeps.. i have a 355 ratio in my 2000. bad pinion gear. Just want to change it all... what will fit my jeep and match front. I think i have a Danna 30 in the front and Danna 35 in rear.
is probably a dumb question should I lock the front diferencial whit a spool or a limited slip for dirt racing a friend of mine told me it was going to pull to the side ...
That’s purely preference.
A spool will make it more difficult to turn.
If you have a mechanical locker or a spool, it’s going to pull in one direction when on the throttle and the other when you let off the throttle.
You Guys Are Bad Ass Thanks !~!~!~
309 rod and peen it, house insulation works great hot for 2 days
Excuse me they state 4500# with Spencer 70 rear axel. Also need to know what brand are these hubs( sending pics). Thanks for reply in advance.
If you have Facebook, find Reckless Wrench Nation and post them there. It’s easier that way. You could also send us a message on Instagram.
so i have the drw dana 60 axle on the front of my truck (i think its the same one you have here), how did you get the wheels to cover the brakes? is it just the offset, or are the tires youre running just that wide...
I am using H1 wheels which have a really high offset (lots of backspacing). One benefit of the dually axle is not needing to re-center those wheels to clear anything.
The more common wheels people run with mid-low offset will expose the brakes. In most cases, it won’t hurt anything.
@@RecklessWrenchGarage ok awesome, so running a wheel that is close to flush with the face of the rim, looks like i should get me some different rims... the ones i have dont have much backspace and the wheels stick way out, exposing the rotor... its a rolling project though, so no crazy trails yet, thanks for the reply!
I think i have the Dana 35 rear end... i have the pinion gear and ring gear here in the house with me these are the numbers... Pinion gear Dana G, 46131, 39-11 A which divided 41 by 11 gives me a ratio of 355 then also has VIL 687. Ring gear numbers are 4-1096 Dana D 46132 P8L560 39-11 then on around the ring gear it has 135... So my jeep is a 2000 jeep cherokee. with those rear end ring gears and pinion gear numbers etc. I want to change the whole back rearend unit out... drop complete unit and change it to another complete unit. I need to know what Modals /types of other jeeps that will inner change. keep it stock...
Go to a junkyard and find a Jeep the same year as yours and get the axle from it. Each differential should have a tag on the housing saying what gear ratio is inside it
car,-parts.com has a page to tell you what year. models ECT will interchange.
If money wasn't a problem sure why not
My 91 dodge 4x4 states it has 4000# front axel, what type of axel?
Do you know how much power this should hold?
Yea hit me up bro
"Most mall parking lots" ha ha ha ha
Why were you rotating the pinion when you were checking the backlash... Was that just to show the dial indicator moving on video?
Jeremy Downs That was just to show the gauge moving to give an idea what we were doing. With the camera view, and our hands in the way, you couldn’t really see anything when we were checking backlash.
What’s up with the mini truck in the background in the garage???????
That’s a 78 Courier street/strip truck I’ve been procrastinating on for far too long. After the Suburban and Ranger are back on the road, we will have video of the Courier.
Awesome!
Bad ass
What make model and year is the front axle I’m in need of those front hub assemblies
This was out of an 87 Chevy K30 dually.
Wow! Im first!
Hi from Sibiria
I've been trying to catch up on all the videos. Not sure if I missed it somewhere, but what wheels are you running? I'd love to put those style on my Project Jimmy I'll be starting soon.
They’re 24 bolt H1 wheels. You can typically find them on Craigslist or Facebook, but Trail Worthy Fab also sells them.
@RecklessWrench Garage, what truss kit and control arms did you use? I have a 1994 Bronco that I’m trying to swap in a Kingpin 60 as well. Thanks
We built the truss out of 1/4” and 1/8” plate.
The radius arms were also build by us using tube and joints from Barnes4wd.
There are many companies that make the parts you’re asking about though; James Duff Broncos, Desolate Motorsports, and a larger variety make trusses.
How much was the kit
It wasn’t a kit; however, all the Yukon parts we installed retail around $2,500. The brakes and wheel bearings were another $200 from Rock Auto. Steering arms and bronze bushings make the total around 3k.
Same Question on 2 - Chevy Duel tire 1 ton trucks , 1986 4x4 , 1997 2x4 . I want to change to Single style wheel on the front axle , on the 2x4 , can I just take off the spacer & on the 4x4 do I need a different hub or just take off the spacer . Many Thanks !
You will have to change the front hubs on both trucks to single wheel hubs. The wheel mount surface is set around 3” further out on the front dual hubs. There is no spacer to remove if it’s stock.
Many Thanks !!!!!!!
Always replace the inner seal repeat always replace the internet seal that's a lot of work to replace the inner seal
Hi guys could that set up go under a astro van to make a 4x4 thks or to wide
It will be very wide under an Astro van, but don’t let that stop you.
@@RecklessWrenchGarage thks
are you using 2 dually axles and hummer h1 wheels? smart lol
Yes. After a while I replaced the rear hubs with single wheel hubs to match the track width front-rear.
@@RecklessWrenchGarage I’m thinking about doing this because I can’t find a SRW gm 60 anywhere near me (NJ)
Now I can't find how to send photos!
How much wider is the dualy front dana 60 vs thea regular dana 60?
4 to 5” according to the Dana 60 bible.
Srw 60 is 69.5”, drw 60 is around 74”.
That's a lot of work on just the front axle and very expensive
Yeah. There's a reason for it.
When you switch to 35 spline outers what else do you need to run them
Just the stubs and hubs. Everything else remains the same.
Just curious why you chose to run a dually version?
Got them for a great deal, then I picked up some H1s. With the dually hubs I didn’t need to do anything to fit the wheels.
@@RecklessWrenchGarage oh im retarded no shit. Facepalm
do regular 8x6.5 wheels fit on a dually hub?
whyisntenstavalible Yes, they do. The fronts will stick out further on the drw hub than they would on a srw hub.
ok, thanks my bro has a dually front dana 60 and is doing a rsk on his truck from a 44 and werent sure if he was going to have to find dana 50/60 front hubs to fit his current wheels. Thanks!
whyisntenstavalible No problem. Just keep in mind, the offset/backspacing of the wheel will determine body clearance. If you have a wide, low offset wheel, it will stick out quite a bit and possibly hit the fender. The mounting surface on the hub is nearly flush with the fender.
how are those bronze bushings? holding up?
So far so good!
i am so jealous
Is that a front differential cover?
Yes
Do you know where single wheel hubs can be bought
Offroad Design and Ruff Stuff Specialties are two places we know of that carry them.
Is this a Chevy Dana 60?
Yes it is.
