I replaced my Dana 17060 rear pinion seal myself after getting quoted $1,800 for my 2018 Allegro 32SA and saved a fortune. I've been researching this repair and I'm honestly getting overwhelmed by what I'm reading about the complexity.

The more I dig into this, the more concerned I'm getting about the specialized tools needed and the precision required. I'm specifically wondering about the 650 lb torque specification, finding a socket that fits the nut and can work with a 1-inch drive, and the best method for removing a potentially loctited nut.

Is this realistically a DIY job for someone with decent mechanical skills? I've already marked my components for driveline alignment, but I'm unsure about seal removal tools, whether to use heat for nut removal, and if I should use loctite when reinstalling.

Is this something I should attempt myself or just pay for professional work? How long does this type of repair typically take, and what am I really looking at in terms of complexity? …more

I tried ignoring the rough ride, but my 2016 F53 chassis is 8 years old and the Bilstein shocks and Dana Spicer 17060S are clearly wearing out — service or replace? I've got 87,000 miles on the clock and I'm honestly frustrated because I keep second-guessing myself on when to tackle these big maintenance items.

The original shocks are still working, but after 9 years should I be proactive about replacing them with Bilsteins? And what about the Dana Spicer 17060S differential - I'm overdue on time but under the mileage recommendation for a fluid change. I've been putting this off for months because I can't decide if it's really necessary yet.

I really need someone to tell me straight up - is this the right time to bite the bullet on both the shock replacement and differential service, or am I jumping the gun? The uncertainty is driving me crazy and I just want to do right by this rig. …more

About every 6 months my 2016 Tiffin Allegro 36 UA is eating through brake rotors on this Ford F53 chassis with Dana 17060s rear axle. When I look up brake rotors using my VIN, everything shows 10-lug parts, but my RV actually has 8-lug rotors.

Why is the Ford VIN lookup giving me wrong brake rotor specs? Where should I be sourcing 8-lug brake parts for this Dana axle configuration instead? …more
