Here's a link to a diff on ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Differential...5RbXkh&vxp=mtr


I don't know enough to tell if this is a complete kit or if it will mate up w/my Dana 30 drive shaft. i.e. spline numbers.

Thanks

Ron

No. It's for a Dana 35, not a 30.

For it work in mine I'd need to change ..... what, the back end of my drive shaft or get a different one?

And what please, are the chances of getting into the Tru track or what ever club with my current stock set up? Thanks for taking the time to get me pointed in the right direction.

It won't work in your front axle, it's for a rear Dana 35. They are not interchangeable. You need to buy one for a Dana 30. Here's a link with some info on places to buy...

https://www.google.com/search?q=dana...hrome&ie=UTF-8

To get one in front, or rear for that matter, you need to buy the correct parts for each axle, and find a driveline shop to put it in.

I've seen you on here asking questions like this before, so I'll make a suggestion for you...go to some local driveline/diff shops that specialize in this type of work, and talk to them. Tell them exactly what it is you want, and they can help point you in the right direction. Doesn't cost anything to talk to them. Just see what they have to say, what they can offer, how much they charge, etc, etc...and go from there.

Thank you for the link and the information. Next time I get near a city I'll see if there are any shops like you describe. It's a 250 mile or so round, trip.
