I'm dabling with the idea of picking up a first gen 89+ dodge cummins as my first tow rig for the ramcharger. Anyone have any experience with these trucks?

Will the 190hp/420tq be sufficient to pull my 6k lb rig?

Are you building somrthing else or getting out of it?

Dismantling my K5. Selling the complete propane system with both tanks for 1000$, also selling the soft top for 400.00 and the cage for 400.00 if anyone wants to take it out.

hey is this thing still around?

D 300 come get it just give me some money came out of the 76 cj7 I had

Nope, no one had them.  I ordered them from rockauto.com.  Each kit was about 11 bucks

Nice write up, when I had my d60 apart a few months ago those bearings were shot.  Did you just get the bearing /seal kit at a local auto parts store?

[Strip down]

I needed some new seals, and the kit with the bearing was not much more, so I decided to overhaul my D60 spindles.  I would imagine a d44 is similar.

Special tools needed:
Slide hammer
Press

Strip down your outer and remove your spindle


Spindle and the new kit.  It includes the two seals and one bearing


Set spindle in vise and use a slide hammer to pull the old bearing out
(it has hard to do this and take a picture)


Press in the new bearing until it bottoms out.  Arbor press worked fine, it could even be tapped in with a hammer


Install seals onto the axleshaft and in spindle (as shown).  Lubricate bearing with some axle grease.


Reinstall and you're done!
