So now I gotta go pick up these parts.

How do I disable the front of the truck so I can drive it?

I removed the drive shaft from the transfer case.

Transfer case is "stuck" in 4wd which was "not engaged" when the front gernaded. Placed the xfer case in 4wd after towed to yard. Should I just force it to 2WD.

The gears are locked up in the transfer case and the auto 4WD hubs would not disingage going back wards.

If I remove the covers of the auto hubs will this allow the wheels to turn freely?

Since I need to drive it a 1000 mile will this destroy anything else in the drive train with the auto hubs removed? Maybe pack that area with extra grease to keep out any contaminants?

 

Unlocking the hubs does just that.unlocks the drive axle from the hub/rotor.with that and ds out,as long as wheel bearings etc that rolls you will be fine.if you removed the hogs head on that one it wouldn't even matter,IF you pulled the axles out.but that's only because the axles would flop.

 

Picked up the 94 F350 Dana 60 front axle and it fit like a glove in the 97 F250.

Still have a couple bolts under the engine for the old axle brackets.

Missing a few parts and need advice.

Seems like there are many parts for this axle on a 4" lifted Jeep.

Brake lines?

F250 brake lines are way too short.

Should I get 94 brake lines $25 each. or should I opt for some aftermarket lines steel braided with extra 4 inches(not needed) ?

The pasenger side line is easy to see how to replace. Pull clip holding onto frame hold hard line with a wrench and unscrew line to caliper.

On the driver side the line seems to crimped onto a junction box with 3 lines. One to caliper, 2 hardlines with one to passenger side and another to brake system. Does the junction box come off the line to the caliper or is it crimpted onto the flexible line to the caliper?

Brackets?

Went to 4 junkyards yesterday. Could not find one part !!! The 4th junkyard told me parts dismantlers come in and take Dana 60's and all associated parts and resale them. So I went to 3 Ford truck resale dismantlers and they did not have the brackets.

Where can I get a
1986-97 Ford F250 F350 Truck Dana 60 Track Bar Mounting Bracket

 

The 1986-97 Ford F250 F350 Truck Dana 60 Track Bar Mounting Bracket is available on Ebay used for $100. Fair price?

Can get a new aftermarket bracket for a 4" lifted truck for $70 but the geometry maybe off?

Also as a bonus I have sway bars on the front and rear purchaed axles.

I have no sway bar brackets on the truck? I see two holes predrilled on the frame directly above where the sway bar bolts on but no brackets.

Any Ideal where to get those brackets?

The rotors are worn out as are the pads. Any special tools to replace rotors?
Go with Raybestos Ceramics?

So need brake lines, track bar mounting bracket, As a minimum to get it moving.

Then Sway bar front rear brackets, rotors & pads to keep it safe.

Could not get the bracket off the xfer case for the drive shaft off since my socket side walls are too fat. Also need those bolts and figuire what size I need? Go with grade8 bolts?

Put new bearings in while at it? Any specific brand / part numbers? Is there a kit to lessen the cost?

The top of the housing has a hole in it the gear from this popped out.

ALSO THE GEAR OIL LEVEL IS AT THE FILL HOLE !!! EVEN AFTER OIL LEAKED OUT!

 

I would venture that the track bar bracket on flebay is not a terrible price.The problem is most times it seems like they dont seperate so the whole assy can be sold for a swap.
The drivers side line comes with the block,not able to be seperated.How much lift? i used stockers on mt 350 with the 3" rsk.oops just saw 4" lift,order lines for 4" lift.and the track bar will need a track bar drop bracket
the rotors will require you to drive the wheel studs out,swap rotor,drive them back in.
rebuild if you need to..or not..i would check the fluid for my answer.and if you have it apart,replace the inner axle seals inside the dif.

 

If keeping the stock height or SLIGHTLY taller stick with the stock track bar bracket. If going 4" get the 4" drop bracket.

100 for the obsolete hard to find track bar bracket is cheap. I would not sell one for any less

 

I found one metal fab house making the 1986-97 Ford F250 F350 Truck Dana 60 Track Bar Mounting Bracket for $75 plus shipping.

Will call tomorrow to find out if makes sway bar brackets.

OBS Track Bar Bracket

Anybody know where to get frame mounted brackets for the sway bars?

 

BANKS mskes the frame side sway bar brackets, I forget the part number though

 

I have one in the toolbox in my truck. Pm me if you can't find one cheap. Came with my D60 but I needed one for a 4" lift

Buy the way, unlike others here I will sell it dirt cheap to ya :-)

 

Sent you a PM for getting the bracket to 91320. Thank you.

 

Should I order 97 F250 brake lines with 4 inch lift so they fit

or

order 94 F350 lines?

Are the $20 lines good enough or spend $100 on Stainless Steel lines?

Any pointers here would be great.

Just want it to work !

I can find passenger size brake line every where for $12 but cannot seem to find driver side cause it has a block on each end.

 

Similar question on rotors and pads.

Any experience out there on what to purchase?

Metalic , semi , ceramic

Any brand recommendations on rotors & or pads?

 

i use napa premium rotors and the premium metalic/ceramic pads.

 

Picked up rotors and pads from pepboys for $88 ($20 off online coupon)


Autozone has the set of brake lines ... both for $24 Unless I find a better product will buy these brake likes.

Just bought Redline synthetic gear oil for $48 gallon.
