As some know, we have an '05 F350 that had a hard previous life. It's single rear wheeled.
Now it has a $2500 rear differential issue.
So why not just replace the whole axle with a salvaged unit for a lot less? Then the discussion goes to "why not convert to a dually?" which would be beefier for trailering.
Has anyone done this or heard of it? I'd be interested in some good impartial advice or direction (which is why I'm asking here, of course!).
Any advice, as always, is very welcome. I've done some looking on the net, but got tired of threads that burned up time but weren't really very helpful.
Thanks!
