The D80 I bought came with a bad pinion yoke. As I am looking for a new one the parts show from 89 to 2002. Does the Dana 70 and 80 have the same pinion yoke? That would be great cause the one in my D70 is not that old. Thanks.

 

Nope, I tried using my 70 on the 80 when I did the swap. 80 is much larger.

 

Did you have to buy a new D80 yoke and, if yes, do you remember how much it was? I see some that specify Spicer and others that don't, is there a comparable manufacture to Spicer when it comes to yokes?

 

when it comes to driveline stuff I buy genuine spicer parts

 

Do you buy locally or on line? The local drive-line guy around me thinks he has gold on his shelves.

 

I buy localy

Usually through Inland Truck Parts

Looks like there just a mid west company

 

I think the yoke is like 150 from the dealer if I remember right, I bought one off ebay from redlinear for like 50 bucks I think

 

When I broke mine I want to say it was in the 80 range IIRC

 

The redlinear guy has about 5 D80 used yokes for $50. At this point I am replacing almost everything new, but I would rather buy a new one for $80 like Pulltilbroke said. I guess I will try for another disappointing visit to the local guy. Thanks.
