Message:
I tried the search engine but I get nothing at all, I don't think its right working now. But anyways I am wondering if anyone has any info on a solid axel swap on a gen II Dak. I have had my dak for almost 7 years now and its been a great truck. But its got alomst 200000 miles on it and things need a little refreshing. Its only a v6 2wd but I am thinking about a whole drive train swap to a 360 and all. But for now I might just try and add a solid axel and tc to it just for fun. I am thinking a solid axel and tc from a late model jeep wrangler might do the trick since they were mated to the ax-15 trans already. I don't need a Dana 60 or anything huges under there, the biggest tire I ever hope to run is a 35, but most likely 33s. Just kicking around ideas for now let me know what you think.
