Thread: Sailsbury or dana 60?

I wasn't questioning the use of it, I was asking what it is. I haven't heard of it before.

Which wasn't an issue until they tried to stop the oil leaking out!

I don't know what all the fuss is about alledged oil leaks in Rovers. My Rangie weeps from the rear main, dry everywhere else. Pretty good for a 19 year old vehicle, regardless of the country of manufacture. I hope I haven't hexed myself now!

My RAngie only has a leak from the LT95 intermediate shaft O ring, which is pretty minor. And a power steering box sector shaft seal, but a new box will be in soon so I'm not worried ATM. Not bad for 300+ Km and the Isuzu has 450K on it now. Still on its original water pump.....

I guess your lucky that I have an LT95 sitting on my shed floor, just for you, sitting, waiting...................sitting................. ..waiting

Que????

Every coil-sprung, solid axle 110/90, Range rover, and discovery from 1969 to the present day was made with 3.54:1 ratios (excluding "special models").

Yes, the Sals is almost the same as a D60. Differences are:
Sals uses 12mm ring gear bolts while dana 60 uses 1/2" (rest of sals is metric also).
All Sals have a 2-cross shaft/6 gear diff which is only fitted to HD D60s.
The pinion bearings and pinion spline are slightly different.

An eaton is not a D60/Sals. Cannot use eaton lockers/centres. AFAIK there is no D60 e-locker.

Jacmac in melbourne make upgraded (d-60 size) axles for sals diffs - can switch fron the standard (sals) 1.24" 24 spline to 1.3" 30-spline or 1.5" 35-spline!!!

well if you want usa junk go get a jeeper (dana 60)

also why fit a sal,s to a disco you will loose a fair bit of the diff clearence you have now

The initial question refered to the Dana diffs and the wide range of ratios available for them. Hence the comment about matching the front diff ratio.
