Install Differential Carrier - Forward
Note: Before installing carrier assembly, inspect and thor-
oughly clean interior of axle housing using an appropri-
ate solvent and clean rag.
1. Apply Dana approved RTV compound on axle hous-
ing mating surface as shown in the illustration. Com-
pletely remove all old gasket material prior to
applying new material. Compound will set in 20 min-
utes. Install carrier before compound sets or reapply.
TIP: To assist in installing complete differential carrier use two
pieces of threaded rod (M16 X 1.5) threaded into carrier cap
screw holes. Rod should be approximately 6" long. Use these
to pilot the carrier into the housing.
2. Install carrier to housing, lock washers, cap screws
and nuts. Torque to proper specification. Torque to
230–270 lb-ft. (312–366 N•m).
3. After 11/02/98, axle housing covers are welded in
place. If you have a bolt-on cover, install rear hous-
ing cover/output shaft assembly (see page 53).
Torque all fasteners to proper specifications. Torque
to 85–103 lb-ft. (115–140 N•m). Install inter-axle
driveline making sure yokes are in phase.
4. Install axle shafts and axle stud nuts (if used, also
install lock washers and tapered dowels).
5. Add axle lubricant. Fill to bottom of filler hole.
6. Connect main driveline, making sure all yokes are in
phase. Lubricate U-joints.
