Have a Dana60 and f**king love it. Alot beefer than the old 12 bolt I broke. I have pulled alot of 1.4x 60ft times. I have had no noises or anything. I would suggest to get the upgraded cover, because the standard old cheap ones tends to start leaking after a while. Mine has a drip from time to time. I have noticed some other peoples on the site leaking also. Other than that I love it.

Holy run-on sentence Batman!!
I had a really hard time reading that. 500 at the motor with M6 and 4.56 gears? What type of tire? That's a whole lotta gear
Anyone else have this rear? If so, where did you get it?
I recently broke my ****........

DLS prepped 60 here w/4.10s and truetrac. " on the cover leak, also had leak from ABS sensor (3-chanl), now sealed. Slight whine on light accel that's not bad otherwise quiet. I like it but it's the heaviest. It's def the choice IMO if your primarily a drag racer. I'm low and got full suspension and I'm just starting to get everything right and throw the car around a litttle more with the add'l unsprung weight on the street. Probly not the best choice for autox or RR.

I've got the first DLS prepped D60, and its still flawless after 2 years. It makes some noise 45-50mph but thats it. Been road racing it since the day I got it, probably over 1500 track miles. The TrueTrac does very well in the corners. I've never, ever, ever spun one wheel on the road course, in the burnout box, launching, or just messing on the street. Planning on running NASA Time Trials next year.

I've been fairly happy with my S60 other than the excessive gear noise. It's got the upgraded cover, 4.56gears, 35spline axles which I think is pretty much a given on all the Strange S60's and I also have the Detroit True Trac in it.
