mchan68 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I have one that is disabling my bay right now. Can someone help with obtaining the correct part numbers for the rear axle U-bolts and nuts. Vehicle is a 2003 F-350 dually 4x4 6 speed manual 3.73 non-locking Dana 80 rear end and auxillary springs if that matters. The VIN is 1FTWW33P43EC97252. HvBOM lists the parts illustrated in the above packages, which are obviously not correct for this application. PLEASE HELP!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchan68 Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 As things now stand, my parts guy has ordered sets of four F81Z-5705-AA and F81Z-5705-EA, hoping one of the two sets will be correct. However, we are still in the dark regarding the nuts. As you can see in the photos above, the nuts that arrived are far too course of a thread.

Aaron Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 You guys don't have a spring shop nearby that could bend some up for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchan68 Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 Shouldn't have cut those ones This thing is getting a donor axle (as you probably already figured out). I wasn't expecting to run into this difficulty trying to obtain the correct fastening hardware, nor am I about to risk my reputation on a repair when the condition of the original fasteners looks questionable at best (276,000 kms. to be exact).

Aaron Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I can't believe there isn't a truck shop in Toronto. Using the postal code on that spring box, i came up with Full-screen Map data ©2010 Google - Terms of Use Map Satellite Hybrid Traction Mississauga - Distance : 16.71 Km / 10.38 Miles View Map 5915 Atlantic Dr., Units 6 & 7, Mississauga, ON, L4W 1S4 Phone : (905) 670-2868 Manager : Doug Paddock Toll free : (800) 268-6957 Traction Bolton - Distance : 27.08 Km / 16.83 Miles View Map 1 Simpson Road, Bolton, ON, L7E 1E4 Phone : (905) 857-2071 Manager : Angelo Visco Traction Oshawa-Whitby - Distance : 46.7 Km / 29.02 Miles View Map 1751 Wentworth St. West, Units 3-6, Whitby, ON, L1N 8R9 Phone : (905) 432-2785 Manager : Paul MacLean Toll free : (800) 263-3823 Traction Hamilton - Distance : 58.63 Km / 36.43 Miles View Map 30 Bancroft Street, Hamilton, ON, L8E 2W5 Phone : (905) 561-0932 Manager : Brian Kinzel Toll free : (800) 263-4588 Traction Ste.

mchan68 Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Aaron, the dealership I work at, the guys here are "truck stupid" if you know what I mean. Dude, I know the basic part numbers of most of the parts better than all the parts guys here, I kid you not. Anyhoo, F81Z-5705-EA it was, for the win. So remember this number the next time any of you guys are needing u-bolts for an F-350 dually with a Dana 80 full floating rear end and auxillary spring setup.

Jim Warman Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Mike.. before I'd allow myself to get trapped again, I'd make a few phone calls.... even if you have to nip a u-bolt off with the torch a couple of simple measurements are all that is required and they cold bend them these days. Worse comes to worse it is "four as per sample". The important thing is to find a shop locally that can get you out of a bind. Notwithstanding that custom bent u-bolts are traditionally cheaper than Fords offerings. If there is any semblance of "teamwork" around your store, this shouldn't be a big deal. If there is no "teamwork" around your store, why are you still there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it appears I seem to have built up a "loyalty factor" to certain customers that will only bring their vehicle in, exclusively for me to work on. Otherwise, I'd been outa there a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I had that problem too.. just let a few key people know that your leaving/left and they will all find you....trust me even the ones you wish wouldn't. plus you'll gain a few more.
