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 SureGrip
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 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. This book also features 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.
