D-30 needed

[Maximus]

I somehow was able to break my d30 in my comanche this weekend when I did an unbeleivable DOH!! when working on it. I am looking for a spare anyone has around that is in good shape. 3:55 gears or around there would be great. I can pick up this week if we can work something out.

Thanks!!

I have a stock 89 disco dana 30, 3.55 ratio with 200,000+ miles on it. Not really what you would call a desireable diff, but it will work if you need it. Make me an offer. It is still under the Jeep at the moment, but it is being parted out.

OK, spill the beans, how did you manage to bust up a 30 in your driveway???

Don't you have geared to 4.56 already sitting in your garage?

I have a TJ 30 you can have, but it will be minus a few things, and it's geared tp 4.10.

Well, it needed a new hub and so I put one on and not really thinking about how it really works I put the hub in with out a axle shaft. So when I started to drive it the wheel thought it would better to sperate and jamb itself under the front end.

I do have the 4:56 but it needs some new parts also and I really wanted that to go under the XJ. I am actually hoping that I can buy the axle that Crash's friend is selling and then put my XJ 30 under the MJ and then who knows what I will do with the one I have now. I am actually looking for a complete front end ( minus steering and brakes) just because time is limited right now.

See Sean's post on the other thread.......I believe he subscribes to the cash is king theory, so you probably have a leg up!

I’ve got a disco housing you can have with knuckles. You could float me a fisty if you wanted. You can pick it up the same place you dropped off the wheels a while back.

I have a '97 HP d30 nondisco w/ 3.55s and complete brakes and steering. My Dad's thinking about putting it under his TJ, but make me an offer if you're interested. Got an 8.25 too

 

[Maximus]

Bronco, I am interested in the axle, what can we work out. If you are coming down to Gary's then maybe you can bring it with you and then I can meet there also and pick it up. Call me and let me know (209)815-4827.

Bsalt, I am interested in the rear 8.25. I assume that it is out f the 97 also so it is a 29spl. I would build that out of the Jeep and then just swap it.PM me with how much you are looking for.

 

[Bronco]

PM’d you

 

[BrettM]

was that the axle you got from me? cause i forgot to tell you it was booby-trapped :laugh3:

how many times have people had hubs seperate now from not running the stub? we should put some kind of public service announcement up

 

[Bronco]

So the unit bearing actually came apart?

No I have your axle, is there something wrong with it, you better tell me now! :explosion

 

[BrettM]

nah, it's all fine. but I do have an extra Timken hub with only a few thousand miles on it, they go for $150 new, so if any of the Sierra guys need it I would take $30 for it.

 

[ChuckD]

I'll take it. We'll work out deatials latter. Right now I'm trying to get your old junk working on my junk!

 

[BrettM]

i'll be home (grass valley and visiting Davis lots) April 2-12 for spring-break, then home for the summer about May 17ish. and plan on going on all the naxja runs between then and mid-august, email me ([email protected]) or PM me whenever you want to figure out details.

I can sell you my 4.56 geared/297 u-jointed/open/non-disco rev dana 30 after I get Sean's built one with the arb. Let me know if your interested. It will take awhile for it to become available though, maybe a few weeks or so.
