Welcome to the Zone. Post some pictures and also put some in your member photo album.

Wow, sounds like you need to upgrade your axles to Dana 60. That engine will definately do damage to the Dana 44's that come with the truck.

Good luck,

As far as Dana 60's go, I guess the availability of older Ford F350's in your area will be a key issue. Here is link to a gold mine of information for Dana 60's http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/60_front/

I just spent a hour browsing thru that site h34r: /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> . Real interesting :-B .

Good luck,

Welcome to Bronco Zone!!! I think Seabronc has you on the right track for the D60/D70 axles. Good luck with the engine problem, too.

There are a few good supliers of parts here in Oz.

thanks for that i've got f spares in the sunshine coast looking for some hope they can get hold of some .I think the engine prob might go away if i stop stamping on the loud pedal or spend more money on it might be easyer to spend the money. I love that big block niose can get enought

Hey Kevin, I worked in and around Moree in NSW for a few months awhile back ,and was surprised by the number of Ford vehicles the blokes drove. I even found a supplier for my shaker assembly from 'down under', so alot of us in the States have connections over there. If you require any form of help on a Ford truck, we'll be glad to help and a few members here are from OZ as well. In our words, we'll hook you up!!!
