Rear Dana 60 Question

[OffRoader93]

I was wondering if you guys think a rear Dana 60 with 35 spline axles and a full spool would take 750hp/900tq when the truck is being used as a weekend sled pulling truck or sometimes a weekend mud racing truck? The truck already broke the pinion in half once, was wondering if there are any gear companies that make a ring and pinion tougher that would take this power? Or should I not waste my time and money and just get 14BFF and weld it up? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Get a FF14 bolt. The 35 splines shafts in the 60 are probably strong enough but the ring and pinion are not. The 14 bolt has much better gear tooth contact, a third pinion bearing (to keep the pinion from climbing the ring gear, this causes quite a bit of the r&p failures), obviously a larger ring and pinion, etc. Why even think of putting a 60 in this truck?

Because it said D60..... Go with the 14FF, you could brobably use the weight on the rear end anyway
