Bought a new rear axel for my Charger. The old 8 3/4" sponsored this Dr. Diff/Strange Dana60

I would also like to recommend Dr. Diff to al who are planing on buying a compleat axel or just new parts for their rear axel :2thumbs:
The service you get from Dr. Diff is GREAT!! The webpage is out of date, but check it out at http://www.doctordiff.com/



I ordered the "Deluxe" model. It comes with a Detroit Locker, LPW Ultimate cover, Strange S/T axles, 4.56:1 gears, 1350 Yoke, Discbrakes (inc. braided brakelines and handbrake cables, etc.)

 :cheers: Gentlemen

The only thing I would want to whine about, and when I noticed it, it did cause severe nausea, dizziness, angst, etc... :eek2:

There is something truly unholy on something as holy as a MOpar, to have FORD logos on the brake calipers :RantExplode:

Id say so!

Looks amazing!!!

The good thing is unless you have the wheels off im sure no one will notice. Even if they do, its only calipers....better than putting a 9" under a mopar.

Looks great!  Congrats.  :2thumbs:    Dr. Diff is great to work with.   Knows his stuff.

Nothing better than looking under a Charger and seeing a big 'ol Dana hanging under there.   Anything else is a letdown.   I'm letting myself down with the project keeping the 8.75 but I do have something in the parts basement to make it more palatable   :icon_smile_big:

Check your own car...  you might just find a Saginaw steering pump on it among other parts Chrysler bought from GM back in the day.

Tom, i went and measured for the driveshaft today.  :yesnod:

Center to center of the U-joint on the driveshaft is 51.5 inches long. This was using a 1350 front slip yoke pulled back 1in from the trans tailshaft to allow for suspension travel.  ;)
