So I'm about to buy an EB Dana 30 and am curious about some things. I realize most of you consider them turdy but how many of you have actually broken parts and what were the circumstances of your breaks? I.E tire size? Locked? horesepower?
I have experience with the 30's in my xj's and have never broken one. Although I’ve always been open diff on 33’s or less with the stock 4.0l power-plant, but I am very hard on my rigs.
The 30 I am buying from the EB owner looks clean, will get welded spider gears, will be turning 36” hummer tires in a bronco II with the stock 2.8l engine. Recipe for disaster or what? I’m thinking about getting the stock shafts cryo’d as this is a strict budget build and I know someone who can cryo them for cheap.
