That is one hell of a housing.
They are fawking robust. Much bigger than the one that went into your Subaru. I may run it.That is one hell of a housing.
Not sure yet, will run the BOM in a week or so. From a 2017 F550, supposedly. Thing is the front of the frame was funky. 4x4 Radius arms were inside the frame.I don't think that's an 80... it's that new dana M275/300 stuff.

They were actually inside the frame, from what I could tell.I think its just the angle and a fat cab mount bracket.
massive bonus right thereIt looks to have an electric LSD/locker.
Pretty much everyone wants a locker in what they drive.massive bonus right there
I don't see a lot of lockers in MDT sized axles, just heavier stuff and even then they're way rarer than everyone'd like
yeah, I'd have to play less than scrap pricing on it.Carefull... I recovered a burnt super 60 and it was bent from the heat.
Nice, what ratios?Not that it matters now, but I'll have two 110's on Monday afternoon. One C&C (supposedly), one pickup (again, supposedly).
both 4.88 w/ truetracs...Nice, what ratios?
We need to talk ;).both 4.88 w/ truetracs...
I have to figure out what I’m going to do. This truck has stazworks 9.5x20 dually wheels, but they make the damned thing very wide. Would loved to use the narrow axle, but I don’t think there’s enough room between rubber and springs.We need to talk ;).
Well, I may want those wheels, too :) for the rear of this.I have to figure out what I’m going to do. This truck has stazworks 9.5x20 dually wheels, but they make the damned thing very wide. Would loved to use the narrow axle, but I don’t think there’s enough room between rubber and springs.
So then I start doing math on either ditching the 110 and going back to 10.25 or 10.5, or spending money on 10 lug single wheels.
But absolutely do NOT need both axles. I doubt I’ll get the loose axle unloaded on Monday, but definitely willing to talk.
Oh. I have receipts for the axle rebuilds from the PO. Each Probably has less than 2k miles. The loose axle was a 4.30 originally and the PO bought factory 4.88’s.

Aye, we need to talk, but I plan to run 335 80 20 Conti's.We need to talk. 😀 I have 7 wheels with nearly brand new 295/65-20 AT’s. And 2” spacers.
You’ll need wider spacers! 😀Aye, we need to talk, but I plan to run 335 80 20 Conti's.
Not really, no. But if I do, I do. One set of tires is enough weight rating. This is more for looks.You’ll need wider spacers! 😀
Sent you some pics. With 295’s, these rub unless at high PSI. I’m 95% sure the spacers would not be needed with 275/65-20’s, which are 1/2 taller than these… but Fawk the 275’s are expensiveNot really, no. But if I do, I do. One set of tires is enough weight rating. This is more for looks.
Sad, but true
Dana Spicer (weird to type) LSD is available. Yes, it's a trash lock.The 2017 Dana 60 should have the fat 28 spline pinion instead of the regular 29 spline. The 2017 and newer F450 and F550 use a M300 rear axle and I am pretty sure the electric locker isn’t offered in them. I think open differential and a trac-loc are the only thing available for them.
That is my thought. Brakes and hubs.I’d be interested in the S175 housing interchangeability. We know the 3rds swap. I assume they use air brakes at 17,500 lbs. I wonder if they just pull off and you can run s135 brakes on it
go for it, this is a tech thread for information rather than a shit-talker for opinionsWhat that entails, I will go through and delete all the fluff stuff, relabel this Dana / Spicer MDT Axle Bible and we can keep it to tech.
I also want more agreement from the posters here, so there's no bitching when it's done. If you agree, delete your own not-tech. If we get a majority, we'll just do it, since Rock already agreed.
