called Strange on the dana 60, WTF? So, did I get a newbie or something? They said they dont make the dana 60 for the 93-97 brakes, I have to upgrade to the 98+ style, or pay 250 for LT1 brake plates. I have never heard of this, I thought they came ready for the LT1 system?? How did you all order yours?
Also, they said the power lok is discontinued, but the tru track will take its place for the same price... so that is cool.
So, those of you with the 93-97 f-bodies, what was the part number you ordered for the housing and brake setup? Did you have to install the newer brakes on it? Or did you get raped another 250 for LT1 backing plates??
also, about the drivshafts, they said the new yoke was not included?? Are you serious?
which drive shafts did you get?
Strange U1699 driveshaft 3"x.083" DOM chrome moly driveshaft with H.D. U-joints
Strange U1700 driveshaft 3"x.083" Seamless chrome moly driveshaft with High Imp. U-Joints
Strange U1702driveshaft 3"x.083" Seamless DOM chrome moly driveshaft with H.D. U-joints
what is the difference between the last two besides roughly 30 dollars?
I thought I had all this figured out, but it seems like this could get nickel and dimey in a hurry... lol
I seem to be getting the run around, so I want to know what is going on before I commit to any GP's...
Thanks for any and all help here!

As far as the S60 I don't know about the brakes, sounds weird to me.
As far as the drive shafts, DOM is good for a street car, if you're gonna do a lot of drag launches on it you can run the c-moly shaft with heavy duty joints.
High impact joints are the same size 1350 but they don't have holes drilled down the middle to grease them, they are solid and you grease them by removing the caps.
They would be for a drag only car, you could use them on a car driven on the street, but you'll have to occasionally remove them to regreasing them, how often I am not sure I know some u-joints can go a few years without regreasing them.

ok, so with the driveshaft I would want the chrome moly, with the greasable ujoints which tanslates into wanting the Strange U1702driveshaft 3"x.083" Seamless DOM chrome moly driveshaft with H.D. U-joints
Ok, well that helps with the driveshaft....
Still a bit perplexed on the rear itself. I have NEVER heard of needing to pay more for LT1 brakes, only the LS1 setup.
I hope someone with this on their LT1 car can tell me what they experienced...

Better to ask a bunch of questions and makes sure even if it is repetitive, annoying or anything else, if you're dropping 2,000+ on a rear end I sure as hell want to make sure I am doing it right the first time especially when that much money is involved.
I mean you're not ordering a 100.00 air lid LOL. There is no sending a built rear end back, you buy it you better like it or have money to change what you don't like.

I also just got off the phone with a girl in the tech department, and not sales. She actually knew what she was talking about. So, I am in. She said 2383 is the price now. and that tru track is the standard differential.
are you doing a GP or something ssvert99?
