Engine, Transmission, Rearend, & Exhaust / Strange S60 Gear oil leaks - S...
Last post by timmycharger - Today at 06:44:56 AMSorry, no pics for this one, I was in the heat of the battle and never took any. I have been leaving small spots of gear oil on the ground by my back wheels for a few years now and finally got to work and solved it.
This is a Dana 60 built by Strange engineering (S60) that came in a crate with the axles installed but no backing plates. The axles had the "green bearing" type that I have used before when I had the 8.75 rear end which I know are better designed for drag racing vs street driving.
I bought this rear end back in 2006 and assembled it back then, putting on my old backing plates and brakes from my old rear.
After draining the gear oil and pulling out the axles I quickly realized that I never installed inner seals on the tube ends. I don't know if I just neglected to do so or if it was a decision I made because there seems to be differing opinions on whether or not inner seals are used with green type bearings.
Regardless, I tapped in the new seals after cleaning everything, re assembled the brakes and changed out the breather vent to a more modern style as the one I had on was a tiny porous screen that barely let any air by. Filled it up with 2 quarts of Lucas and a tube of additive.
Drove it a few times and so far so good, no leaks!

Change torsion bars? Install new shocks? Flush the coolant? Tune up your car? Drive 100 miles in the classic?

Yeah, That is easy to believe.
Try laughing a bit. It sure makes for a happier day.
Maybe turn a wrench on your car and come back and tell about it. When was the last time you swapped an intake manifold or lashed the valves?
These are great cars to work on and to drive.

The younger kids really like it and it's way more fun to drive than the charger or challenger ever were. Plus it pretty much infinitely repairable unlike my wife's 18 challenger T/A which will be obsolete in short order especially if the electronics start to go. On the plus side a 440 and 833 could be bashed in the challenger so there's thatHi Frank, 19 May 2024
Forgot to mention the dealer took our Interceptor to the Smog shop for testing; she passed with flying colors. She now has an AZ title and an Arizona Navy Vet plate with the Hull number of the ship I spent the most time on. The new plate reads: TAGS23
Miss the old gal, spent 5.5 years aboard her. She was declared "Unfit For Sea Duty" in 1975, three years after I left and then disposed of (meaning Scrapped) in 1977. Lots of fond memories.

What kind of ship was it?
