I bought a new rear axle off ebay this past june. Haven't needed to use 4 wheel since. I did today, and my rear wheels drag a couple inches every 1 1/2 rotations or so. I spent a lot of time making sure that the ratios matched between my Dana50 front, and what I was buying... but I think it looks like something is off. I know there are plenty of experts on here, so I was wondering if I got the axle codes from both, if someone could solve this mystery for me, as evidence suggests I am apparently not capable.
I'm assuming, since the backs drag, that whatever back axle the people in Alabama sold me is a bit more sluggish... I thought I had 3.73 in front, so maybe 4.10 gears is what they gave me?
Also, I assume that replacing the rear gear set will be the easiest to do, and cheapest? (since I don't have the time or space... got to get someone to do it for me.)
I'll get those axle codes up as soon as I can...
Thanks!
