Please name this axle !!
« on: 03/10/07 - 10:56PM »
i have a chance to pick up this axle.  i don't know what it is.  it is much larger than the dana 44's that were laying on top of it and all around it.  It is 8 lug with full time 4wd hubs on it.  the kicker is that it looks like it has some sort of vacuum actuator coming out of the front diff cover.  By the way, the diff cover is heavy whatever it is.  I was banging on it and it is no light duty like the one on my dana 60.  Anyway, if you can identify it I would greatly appreciate it.  The housing on the backside actually has holes through it that the inside u bolt goes through.  Thanks for looking

The ball joint knuckles limit what it could be a great deal. If dana 60 it would have to be relatively new.
Better pics of the hubs would help.  The odd nut in the cover is what I find really strange.
