Need to rebuild dana 70. Where to go? Who 2 contact east US?

Postby Ironforger » Sun May 11, 2008 9:01 am

1990 W 250 4x4. 5spd. 140k original miles.
I have quite a bit of free play in the rear axle. 3.51 ratio. Open. (not limited slip.) Pulled cover and inspected. Noticed play on splines where axle meets spiders. Pinion seal also leaking. I'd like to do a total rebuild, new bearings for the carrier and pinion. New spiders. New axle shafts. Basically everything except the ring and pinion gears.
I can purchase all of the parts, but need pro help with special tools/setting up the gears/shims, ect.
Can anyone in the eastern us help or suggest a good axle shop? I'm a pro welder/fabricator, and can barter. I'm located in NJ and will travel.

Thanks!

These guys here http://www.quad4x4.com/Dodge%20Rear%20Axle.htm have some of the parts you may need. You may want to post this down in the "Wanted" section for more exposure.

Do not order a pinion kit for your axle from quad 4x4. I did for my front dana 60. What I got was a loose selection of shims. None were thinner than .018. The number included were about half of what a Dana kit has. A Dana kit has new ring gear bolts included with a pinion install kit. Quad's kit didn't. The Dana kit will have two different pinion seals in it. Quad's kit had one seal. It was not the seal my axle needed eather.

I also ordered a new left side inner axle. Total time from order till it was shipped was one "MONTH". The day I called to cancel the order was the day they had shipped it.

Use the DTS link I gave you on the other site.

I'm fixing to dig into my broken D70, and do a complete reuild, so I can report on problems I run into.

I redid LS clutches and pinion bearings on my 93 D70 (W250). I left the old bearings on the carrier, and had to reshim the pinion. It ernt in a whole lot better than it came out (fortunately). It requires patience.
