OOOhhh welp ok sorry i thought they were one in the same eh iunno good luck to ya then
Well i haven't had time to work on the truck lately but i did find a full float Dana 60, brand new for $700. Anyone know how well this will match up? would it be a better or worse rear end?
This is what your talking about.

They do have some dies that size if i knew the thread type and size. Think iam going to get a thread gauge. Ford couldnt tell me what size that is.
So iam in the process of swapping out rear ends and id like to change gear ratio. If i took the gear carrier and the ring and pinion with the shims from one axle can i put it in a different differential with out doing the backlash? I sure it would be best to check and be sure. What about the front? is it much different.

what about a rolling torque wrench?????You need a couple specialized tools for doing rearend work. One to measure backlash and one to check for pinion depth. If you get the wrong pattern on the gears (wear spots) it will tear the rearend up within an oil change.
