I have a 1971 Rear Axle Part II Master Technicians pamphlet/book. It really isn't much more than the Factory Service Manual. Some of those books had slideshows that went with them. Barry Washington has some of that stuff on his http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/ website. Here some video of those slideshows but no Diff stuff: http://www.youtube.com/user/1970Hamtramck Last edited by autoxcuda; 01/11/13 05:40 PM.

It is from a 4X4 site, but Dana 60 just the same, & it's raiser to understand than a FSM. http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/Gear_Setup/ '06 Magnum R/T Daily driver, 5.7 N.A.- [email]12.63@109[/email]

Please don't clamp the carrier in the jaws of a vise to torque ring gear bolts. Simply hold the carrier in a press. Contact info

I don't have a press, but need to torque these bolts. All I have is a vise.
