Just got a 3.73 Dana 27 TT that has never been installed or even filled. It turns real slow, like it has molasses in the bearings. Has a Newman & Altman shipping label still on it.*
I pulled the cover and it's immaculate inside, except for some sticky grease residue, just wonder if anyone knows if that's some sort of assembly lube. Thinking I should just fill it and turn it to wash that out or?
Also wondering if I should worry about the pinion and/or axle seals or just try my luck.
The open 27 in our 64 Commander is getting noisy, and now is making a wah wah resonant tone at some speeds. It's a 6 so I was happy to find this...
*the Newman & Altman tag was addressed to Steve Grinols, iirc I sold him a 41 President a couple decades ago. Small world.
