2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission dana 80 needed needle in haystack?

[San Felipe Bob]

I need a Dana 80 2500 single rear wheel 3. 54 or 4. 10 posi?

2001 or 2002

My 1997 Dana 70 is junk. 200k miles and bent axle tube.

I want to do this right the first time.



Anyone know where I can find a good used rear end?

San Felipe Bob, I hope you don't mind if I tag along on this thread.



I am looking for a Dana 80, 3. 54 gears. I don't care if it has disc or not, and I would prefer to find one within reasonable driving distance of Grand Rapids, MI. Of course San Felipe Bob is obviously first in line.

i have a 3. 54 dana 80 out of a 96 3500.





it needs a new pinion & ring... ... previous owner of truck ran low on fluid and the pinion and bearing now have some play in them..... worked fine when removed from truck 3 weeks ago but should be rebuilt. I have some spare parts to go with axle including the backing plates with shoes, hubs, some of the bearings needed to rebuild it. I am keeping the drums.



I am in the detroit MI area..... and not sure if I am willing to ship..... this sucker is heavy as hell!!!! looking to get $800ish

I'm guessing you want a '01. 5-'02 rear end for the disc brakes?



Sounds like you want a complete unit, with brakes and all.



Sorry, can't help, just curious.

YES! M Cummings

If I'm gonna spend 2 grand on a used low milage rear end I need to get the disks complete with brake lines and cables.



I have located a 01 Dana 70 with drums 3. 54 posi.

About 750 bucks.

Probably will end up with it.



2 grand to rebuild mine including straighting the housing and a Detroit locker plus the 1 week down time and loss of work.

Makes the 750 buck deal seem irresistable.

There is a Dana 80 on Ebay listed today, it's buy it now for around $900 if I remember right. I don't remember what gearing or if it is out of a dually but it might be worth a look. I bent a tube when I was in a wreck earlier this spring, the other lady's insurance company spent two days looking for an 80 single rear wheel application. They finally found one for $1400 (or so it was reported to me). Good luck, andy
