Hey guys,
I also have this 1977 Dodge Power Wagon (full size 1/2 ton pickup) thats equipped w/ a Chrysler 9 1/4 rear axle. It looks like the axle in later xjs (8 1/4) but its a 9 1/4. Its got 4.10s I think I'd like to know:
a.) How strong is this rear end? Esp., how strong in comparison to a DANA 60? The 60 was used on full ton or 3/4 ton power wagons.
b.) Is this useable on an XJ? This is why I posted it here. Oh, its SOA.. Not that it is something I am considering...yet..., but would it be good for someone wanting to run large tires, lockers and low gears. The reason I ask, is that Dana 60s seem to be cheap (see non-tech forum) and I'd want to know if its practical (if its a substantial upgrade in strength or if anything is weak in the ChryCo axle) to toss a D60 under there???
