1985 D150 rear end

I have a Summit engine in my 85 D150, well it destroyed the rear end and transmission. It has a 9 1/4 rear end. I want a beefer rear end, what rear end will bolt back into the truck with no problems?

There are differences between a 9 1/4 and a Dana But the 9 1/4 is pretty strong !!! I'm guessing yours was original and it's time was just up !!!!

The one weak point is the crush sleeve. Rebuild with solid spacer and auburn LSD and you'll have a strong, reliable unit like we have.

9 1/4's ARE strong!
