OK, I am a newb here...but this place kicks azz! I bought a 91 suburban 3/4t 350fi, 4l80e, 3:73 open diffs truck from a buddy over christmas. I got the fever and ordered a set of NEW axles from Memphis Equipment. Dana 60 front with 4:56's and open carrier. 14BFF with a detroit and 4:56's for the rear. I am trying to get all my other parts together for the swap which I would like to accompllish in a weekend. I bought a nos power lok from SweetK30...Thanks Dude! I need help with the following:
1.Do I need a case spreader and any other specialty tools to take the old open carrier out and put the power lok in? They r both 4:56 ratio carriers. If I put the shims back in the way they come out, will the setup still be correct with the new power lok carrier?
2.How much oil does a stk gm dana 60 front hold and what brand and weight oil do you guys recommend?
3. Will the stk front brake lines bolt up to the new 60 1 ton calipers?
4. What weight oil, brand do you guys reccomend and how much does the 14bff rear need?
I have a new set of u bolts and spring pads and plates on the way for both front and rear. I scored a new set of warn premiums yesterday from Randys Ring and Pinion (didnt even know that they had a warehouse in TN...much less 15 mins from me!) I assume my rear brake lines (hard and soft) will work on the rear. It has a 14bsf in it now. I am going to stay with the drums for now since they are new and I dont do much mud. Is there anything else that I havent thought of to do the swap?? I can't take my driveshaft measurements until I get the axles in. I have a 275A Miller Mig and an extreme plasma to move the spring pads on the back axle.
Thanks in advance!! I have already learned a ton from night after night of reading on here over the last 2 weeks!!
