Drive Flanges ??????

angelfly · Jan 22, 2008

So I have just strictly a trail rig and at the moment I can't afford a 60 at the time. . . but I was wondering if You can buy a set of drive flanges like you can for a front 60?????

I really am sick of hubs unlocking them and locking them when the thing never goes out of 4by!

So drive flange for a dana 44 is it possible???

TreeClimber · Jan 22, 2008

Yes. Warn makes drive flanges for internal 30 spline D44s. Dana/Spicer had internal 19 spline D44s from the factory in a lot of mid 70s rigs. Try a wrecking yard for them. If you have something else going on, you can still probably get it handled.

if your sick of unlocking them, just dont unlock them.

if your not going to unlock them get rid of them, thats less **** to break on your rig, i wish i had put drive flanges on my old toy

Leave them locked in until they break...then put drive flanges in.

It's just a 44 anyway...the hubs make for good fuses.

if there not broken now then sell them and then you got money for your flanges:awesomework:

FYI I put flanges on my D60 :flipoff:

Alright cool thanx guys!!! I have already blown out to sets of hubs and I'm just sick of them, like stated above more parts to break and in a fullsize I have enuff to worry about

Thanx for the imput guys:beer: At the moment I have 19spline outers, and probably wont upgrade untill I have a 60!

I just realized that since I was originally all time 4 wheel drive That my old rotors should have drive flanges on them:cheer: Now the only problem is to find them in my mess of garage or maybe my storage place. . . . oh man this mite take me awhile to find

Thanx again guys!!! I will update my build thread hopefully tonight and show ya my new tranny - t-case and hopefully the rotors!!!

hey dove'd85 toyota made stockdrive flanges on 90's toyotas,they'll work but i have stripped them out and longfield makes a toyota drive flange that is cromoly that i run now and are lifetime gaurenteed!they bolt right on exept you have to replace two pins with 6 larger pins,they give you a bit and pins,theyre 85 apiece picked up.

Flanges suck when yer front ring blows 2 teeth and they lodge into the housing.

that was the main reason i decided i wouldn't go flanges. ya they're simple and strong, but what happens when this **** is your only way home with a terminated front end? hahaha.

also, some of us dont like to have round, balanced drivelines up front, so it's better to leave it hangin free induced rotation on the street.

if you gotta trailer, go flanges for strength and simplicity if that's what you want.

dove'd85 · Jan 23, 2008

this is for a trail only rig:flipoff: and if your break a few teeth and you can get them unlodged...... then i guess you will have to pull a flange off or pull a shaft out, pull the driveline off ect...

What's that got to do with the flanges? You have internal splined hubs, right? Waggy flanges (or slugs) will work just fine.

So..you pull out the slugs. Gooey but easy.
