Dana 60 Front Drive Axle FSM Section?

[Gary Lewis]

When I want to use a factory shop manual section I like to cut it out of the manual, scan it in, and post it here on the website so it is available to me and to everyone.  This evening I was going to do that on the Dana 60 as I'm in the process of tearing one down in order to install it in Big Blue.  But, while my '85 FSM shows it in the listing, as shown below, that section is not in the book, and never has been.  It goes from Section 15-34 to Section 15-40, with nary a 15-36 in sight.  

So, does anyone have an FSM that does have that section?  If so, would you be willing to cut it out and scan it?  Preferably at 600 dpi?

The Dana 60 front axle wasn't used until 1986 (the F-350 had the Dana 50 TTB from '80 - '85), so you'll probably need an '86 or newer FSM.

I have the FSM for my '97 F-250 (includes F-350).  I can try to get the Dana 60 section out of that if you want something that far removed from the '80 - '86 generation.

Bob - I think any D60 front axle section will do. Or, be a million times better than nothing. So PLEASE! And THANKS! It looks like the '85 FSM was getting ready for the monobeam that was introduced in 10 of '85.

Gary, my 1986 FSM does the same thing.

[Gary Lewis]

Really!    That's a true bummer.  Guess we'd better be really happy with Bob's later one.  

[grumpin]

May be a typo! Looks like it is 15-32.

[Gary Lewis]

My book goes from 15-10 to 15-34.  Looks like both a typo and an omission.  

[grumpin]

Mine is on CD. Will that help? Or do you think there may be some differences?

[Gary Lewis]

There shouldn't be any differences.  Do you have a pdf program?  I do and can "export" a page range into a new file.  If you could.......

[grumpin]

Be glad to help if I can. Can I email the section to you?

Or I could snail mail the whole thing and you can mail it back.

[Gary Lewis]

Emailing the section would be wonderful!  Thanks!

[grumpin]

You'll have to help me, I don't know how to email just the section.

[Gary Lewis]

The only way I know is to have a pdf application.  I use Foxit PhantomPDF, and you should be able to try the application for a few days w/o charge.  It MAY let you export or extract a section.  I know the paid-for version will.

Or, how big is the whole CD file?  Can you put it on a Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar?  Then I can extract it.

How much did that copy cost?

Gary,

I'm not willing to tear pages out of my book, and I can't fit the entire book on my scanner (which would be really slow with the 32 pages anyway).  So I'll bring it to work tomorrow and scan it there (assuming you still want it with the later responses, presumably for earlier trucks than mine).

And I don't seem to have your e-mail address, but I think you have mine from my registration to this site.  So if you can send me an e-mail I can send the scan back.

The CD's are $33 to $39.

I am willing to donate one to the forum.

[grumpin]

Found one on Rock Auto in an odd way, about $24 total, email me your address and I'll send it.

[Gary Lewis]

Wow!  I won't turn that offer down.  I could add sections left, right, and center w/o cutting them out of my books and scanning them.  Thanks!  

[Gary Lewis]

Email sent.  THANK YOU!!!  An '86 FSM will have lots of things we can use.

[grumpin]

You're welcome! Got the email!

[grumpin]

Ordered, I'll let you know when and if I get a tracking number.
