Comparison Information on Dana Wheel
Differential Locking Axles
This section covers Dana wheel differential locking axles. The
basic concept of Dana Wheel Differential Locking axles are the
same, but the designs vary model to model. When servicing
your differential lock axle, pay close attention to all NOTES,
TIPS and WARNING signs that will assist you while you work
on your axle. The differential lock axles listed below are
grouped together by design type.
Note: Information for Type 1 and 2 differential lock axles are
not covered in this manual, refer to AXSM-0048 and
AXSM-0046 for information pertaining to those axles.
Parts unique to type 3 differential lock axles.
Type 1 Style Differential Lock Axles Feature:
• A sliding curvic clutch
• A fixed curvic clutch
• The flange half differential case is externally splined
• Uses double spline or extended spline axle shaft (11"
spline length) on flange half side of axle
• Uses standard spline axle shaft (4" spline length) on
plain half side of axle
• The differential lock selector switch is located on the
carrier/cap assembly
Type 2 Style Differential Lock Axles Feature:
• A sliding curvic clutch
• A fixed curvic clutch
• The plain half differential case is externally splined
• Uses extended spline axle shaft (11" spline length) on
plain half side of axle
• Uses extended spline axle shaft (11" spline length) on
plain half side of axle
• Uses standard spline axle shaft (4" spline length) on
flange half side of axle
• The differential lock selector switch is located on the
differential lock shift cylinder
Type 3 Style Differential Lock Axles Feature:
• A two-speed carrier/cap assembly
• A splined clutch splined internally
• The differential lock is shifted by air shift units
• The differential lock selector switch is located on the
air shift unit
• The flange half of the case is splined internally
• Uses extended spline axle shaft (11" spline length) on
flange half side of axle
• Uses standard spline axle shaft (4" spline length) on
plain half side of axle
