Don.... I'd say stay tuned, I suspect Sean may have a workable idea. And to aid him I am going to take a look see at my junk collection sometime in the next few days...I may have a idea, but I need to lay eyes on the hub. Does anyone "ken" have a clue how large of a diameter the Chevy or for that matter Ford speed sensor deal is?
No Sean but our cells are being whacky...not sure whats up. As I see it Sean's situation is a easy cheap fix. He just needs a Currie tone ring on one of his rear axles and he's set... minus the wiring he will do anything to avoid. My guess it's no big deal...Now on a floater front...more challenging. One option that would make it simple on a front 60 would be a Spyntech Kit..http://spyntec.com/wp-content/uploads/9904_Ford_hub_3.jpgnot a cheap solution but totally possible. Now...the question would be does Chevy use some weird odd tooth count on it's brakes? If not....although not a cheap solution it's a workable one. But I thought the Duramax crowd had a computer tune workaround to bypass the anti lock?WFO has a disk brake brackets that adapt 2010 vintage Chevy brakes and speed sensor to a Ford King pin 60.... Don if that uses the same sensors or tone ring your golden...you could just swap to 2010 Front brakes.
Don.... before ya chew em out... ask why the 2011 and newer Dmax isn't supported...and if there is a work around like using 2010 brakes as an example. I am interested in this stuff for many reasons...not the least of which my oldest kid is determined to build a real Dana 60 for the front of his Power Wagon..he's already replaced the rear with a Dana 80 from a CTD truck. He has test fit my 40" set of tires, and well it's just a matter of time before he hangs a Front 60/radius arm set up under that truck.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Well, that starter I put on three months ago during the motor fiasco is officially taking a big poop. Making some funny noises, hasn't left me stranded yet but it's under warranty so that is being swapped shortly. Snow blower needed carb torn apart and cleaned then wife picked up a screw last night & we awoke to a flat this morning. Not my week.....I did work on back rack a little more today & decided a couple pieces are getting cutoff & replaced as the design evolves.....& I ordered a 2" bar clamp machined to mount "stuff" to roll bars made of 2" tube today.
You know the rules...
Not sure if cut n paste qualifies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Don, thought of you today when I was picking up the mounting hardware at this local farm and ranch called Jax. They sell all things Hobart as in welding stuff etc. They have a nice portable table that folds up for easy storage and get this it is non flammable all for around $100http://www.ruralking.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/h/o/hobart_folding_welding_table.jpg

You guys and your red trucks. I don't like the attention but it looks good.So it has the ECO Boost?
Once had a convertible camaro & it was a favorite of the local pd but that had nothing to do with the color......

Well, get convincing!
OK, so I've been slacking on the JK. So I've got around 5k on the new motor and now on my second starter. The under hood temps with these JK's are always an issue and headers exacerbate that problem. So when I threw then new motor in along with headers I decided it needed some ventilation and purchased these vents from daystar last fall. Going into winter I didn't believe the heat would be an issue, spring is upon us and thought I'd better get this mod out of the way. Being that they are plastic they are very lightweight and functional. Started off laying it out and using an auto punch to locate for the drill holes, tiny 1/16 inch drill holes for all holes. This was after I laid a junk blanket over the engine bay and pulled the insulation from beneath the hood.then larger holesthen use of the air nibblerthen rattle bomb the bare steel and reinstall insulation and hood bumpers along with new ventsnow it needs a bath and some wax.......
