Post by: Dracen on July 05, 2014, 11:57:44 PM
97 cummins 4x4 with dana 60 front dana 80 rear.... was a semi built motor before i parked it 3 years ago... drove it less than 10 miles in 4 years... new auto trans new hopped up fuel system....

No one got hurt but truck is done. Drove to a friends because he wanted to buy it... he test drove it said he wanted it just give him a few days to get funds the rest is history....

Axles are pretty resilient.  At least pop the diff covers and peek inside 'em.  And even if the oil bubbled hard, you can soak 'em down and get all that residue off.  If you've got good pieces in there, I wouldn't just trash them out of hand.  Ditto for your transmission and transfer case.  Those pieces AREN'T cheap, and for the cost of effort to soak & scrub 'em, they'd BE worth keeping, if in otherwise good shape!
