I have found several 1480 yokes for the Dana 80 axle, but it appears all of them are only available with straps. Is there one available to use with u-bolts?
 
call keith @ overtime performance CNC 616-813-4313. i just got a billet 1480 yoke from him that he made. it is a BEAUTIFUL piece!! very stout. its a shame it has to go underneath the truck.
 
strange doesnt have them. i actually called them and thats who gave me the number for overtime.
 
Ok then MW & overtime, would have figured Strange would have been right on top of it ..

Don't think because it's u-bolts it can be made tighter.... 30ft lbs on the u-bolts, anymore and you distort the cap and ruin the joint
 
$250 for the yoke and it came with the nut he had machined to fit on there. i also had to cut the end of the pinion off.
 
billet yoke is sallow the joint will touch the the very end of pinion shaft
 
exactly what the cowboy said about cutting the pinion off

dave-i got a pic of it on my phone ill send it to you cause i dont know how to get the picture on here haha

Why do they make you shave the pinion? What is the purpose? Why not have a yolk that will work without cutting the pinion. How much of the pinion needs shaved?
 
If i remember the numbers right my driveline guy said 3/8 and he would have had to make a new nut

I am not either as we have change a ring and pinion at the pull. I suppose you just have to shave the one your going to put in and keep it with ya.
 
that's why we went with a metal one with the holder tits to hold caps in yoke
