Your right Jerry , I did think you were talking about the drive shaft carrier bearing . I should have known better , and that would be just way to easy. lol.
The hubs are 8 hole so I don't think its anything more than a 1 ton axle .
Can't say that there's any up and down ,or side play on the input bearing , but the drive shaft has a little better than a 1/4 turn of free play in the ring and pinion .
I did do a little research on the diff and was told that for the most part, no parts were to be had for it . Is this true ? Am I in for a lot of work trying to fit a newer Dana into the van ?
With the free play that's in the ring and pinion,if the carrier bearings turn out to be bad, could the ring and pinion still be good if the carrier bearings were replaced ?
I'll try and get the carrier out this week . I still can't figure out how to upload pictures . Must be a big secret.
Thanks again guys .
