1997 Ford F250 - Building It Right
|
The first thing we noticed other than a clean, badgeless body, was the front Dana 60 axle. J.D. Donohue told us he decided to ditch the TTB front axle after having to replace axle beam-pivot bushings every 2,000 miles, not to mention all the added wear and tear that occurred on his front tires. The problem with TTB on these trucks is related to the 980-pound Power Stroke bearing down on it. With that kind of weight, the front coil springs constantly sag, creating premature inner tire wear, and adding considerable stress to other components. View Related Article
