Dana 44 Rebuild, any suggestions? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Steve40thlt1 · 07-07-2022

Hello, I have a 93 non ZR1. But, I have D44 with 3.73 gears that is clunking. I got underneath the car and checked u joints, they are fine. But, when I had it neutral and moved the tires you can clearly hear a clunking noise in the diff, either way you move it.
I had Ikerds build this back in early 2000s while I lived in Hawaii. It has about 30000 miles on , 24000 miles on the island. I lived there 12 years..
Anyways, when cruising I was hearing a noise back there, and the end links were bad. Replaced those. U Joints have about 3000 miles on them. Spicers, I believe. But, no racing since being back here, just cruising a hot dogging it here and there, with a 396LT1 and auto..
Anyways, I have some almost new 3.33 gears, but, thinking of just rebuilding the Dana, and need suggestions, recommendations.
Thnx, Steve

I am too new to message him apparently. I am on post two now.
Does he have a website? Location? I will be in VA next weekend in Norfolk for 3 weeks.

Do you want to part with your 3.73 gears? I am looking to buy some

Marc and Bob Haibeck also rebuild them and of course do them properly. www.zr1specialist.com or give Marc a call.--Bob
