My truck has the typical annoying slopped out 24 year old bushings in the front end. This has to end! I'm currently on the fence about simply (Ha!) replacing all those rubber parts with new parts (Poly?), or swapping in a Dana 60 from a f350.
The question I have is there any drawback to the dana 60 other than having to find one and pay for it? I'm specifically concerned about ride quality as I am probably going to drive this truck from Seattle to Miami in December.
I realize the dana 60 is stronger, but since I haven't managed to break anything so far in ten years of less than careful driving, I'm less motivated by that than by the improved tire wear etc.
Looking forward to hearing from those who have already made the switch. If any of you did it to a truck that didn't have a completely worn out front end I'd really like the report on that difference...rather than "my new axle is way better than the worn out crap it replaced".
