Description: Jeep, Dana & Chrysler Differentials How to Rebuild & Upgrade the Chrysler 8 1/4, 8 3/4, Dana 44 & 60, & AMC 20 by Larry Shepard Over the last 40 years, millions of Chrysler, AMC, and Jeep vehicles have used these differentials, propelling these high-performance vehicles to victory on the street, in drag racing, and other applications. Chrysler used the Dana 60 and BorgWarner Sure-Grip high-performance differentials in the Challenger, Charger, Barracuda, Super Bee and many other renowned Chrysler muscle cars. These differentials have been tied to historic powerhouse engines, such as the Chrysler Magnum and Hemi V8s in stock car, drag racing, and other forms of racing, making history in the process. Jeep CJs and Cherokees have used the Dana 44 and AMC 20 and put these differentials under tremendous loads, which often requires frequent rebuilds. After years of use, these differentials require rebuilding, and of course aftermarket suppliers offer ring and pinion and other parts to upgrade these axles. In this Workbench series title, the focus is on the disassembly, inspection and step-by-step rebuild of the most popular high-performance differentials. Axles and differentials are not incredibly complex components, but there are some specific steps to follow for rebuilding, upgrading, and setting them up properly, and this book demystifies the process and explains it in detail. A book dedicated to the Dana, Sure-Grip, and AMC Jeep axles has never been published before, and Mopar, Jeep and AMC enthusiasts are hungry for this information. The Dana and AMC axles should remain in wide use into the foreseeable future, and therefore there will be a consistent demand for this information. This book will also feature extensive gear and application charts, so the reader is sure to select the correct gear ratio for a particular vehicle and application. Special coverage is therefore dedicated to ring and pinion gears. In addition selecting the best aftermarket and production axle shafts is covered as well as modifying and upgrading the differential housings. Larry Shepard is a veteran Chrysler engineer: He worked for Mopar Performance, the high-performance parts division of Chrysler. He is also a veteran author having written several books including five technical performance manuals for Chrysler.Table of Contents: Acknowledgments 4 Introduction 5 Chapter 1: Rear Axle Basics 7 Chapter 2: General Preparation 16 Chapter 3: First Steps of Disassembly 27 Chapter 4: Rebuilding AMC Chapter 5: Rebuilding Chrysler Chapter 6: Rebuilding Dana Rear Ends 98 Chapter 7: The Differential 126 Chapter 8: Ring-and-Pinion Gears 150 Chapter 9: Axle Shafts and Housings 155 Chapter 10: Axle Hardware 167 Appendix: Axle Specification Chart 172 Source Guide 174 Softcover.
