14blt vs. Dana 70 - JeepMadness1979 - 10 Mar 09 Lets here you opinions and wisdom... I ended up with two rearends... I only need one... witch one should I go with :confused: Parts? Costs? Strength? 14blt vs. Dana 70 - TJVigilante - 10 Mar 09 Lots of stuff out there for the 14 bolt, as I understand it not too many gear or locker options for a Dana 70. Then again, the 14 bolt has a limit on how low the gears can go due to their design. The D70 has it in the bag for strength-to-weight ratio but it's hard to beat 35 splines from the factory. The D70 has a lesser spline count than a D60 but a much larger shaft diameter.

I don't know how the strength comparisons go - but I've seen many a 14 bolt survive where a Dana 60 didn't... 14blt vs. Dana 70 - JeepMadness1979 - 11 Mar 09 I am going to run the 14 blt 14blt vs. Dana 70 - JeepMadness1979 - 18 Mar 09 are 14 blts 30 or 35 spline? I thought they were 35 but all of the parts I seem to find are 30 spline.. for example... http://www.ringpinion.com/PartsList.aspx?SearchMode=Diff&TypeID=5&Type=GM&DiffID=35&DiffName=GM+14T&CatID=12&CatName=Spools+%26+Mini-Spools&CatType=Sub-Differential 14blt vs. Dana 70 - TJVigilante - 18 Mar 09 Hrm, I thought they were 35 spline....ARB says 30 spline as well. According to them, a D60HD comes with 35 spline shafts in chevys. Eh, I'm no Chevy guy...sorry if I led you in the wrong direction. 14blt vs. Dana 70 - JeepMadness1979 - 07 Apr 09 This is the plan for my 14 bolt 14blt vs. Dana 70 - JeepMadness1979 - 07 Apr 09
