Introduction

General Information
Dana Corporation, Axle & Brake Division, presents this publi­cation to aid in maintenance and overhaul of Dana tandem drive axles. Instructions contained cover the models listed. Their design is common, with differences in load capacity. Ca­pacity variations are achieved by combining basic differential carrier assemblies with different axle housings, axle shafts and wheel equipment.
The suffix letter “P” in the model number indicates lube pump is standard. Pump models are equipped with a gerotor pump, designed to provide additional lubrication to the inter-axle dif­ferential and related parts.
Carrier Design and Identification
(DT440-P, DT460-P, DT480-P and DP440-P through DP650­P)
On August 1, 1981, these axles were converted to a new con­figuration which includes redesign of the axle differential car­rier; input shaft bearing, involute side gear and axle shaft spline configuration. For carrier identification, see illustrations:
Axles built after August 1, 1981 with Carrier Casting No. 110500
Note: Refer to Dana Parts Book AXIP-0108 for parts informa-
tion.
Input Shaft
Input shaft with Carrier Casting 110500 is equipped with a ta­pered roller bearing. Casting 103530 uses a ball bearing.
Input Shaft Bearing Spacer
Used only with Carrier Casting 110500.
Pinion Bearing Sleeve
Used only with Carrier Casting 103530.
Pinion Helical Gear Spacer
Used only on DT/DP440-P and DT/DP460-P (ratios 3.90-6.17).
Output Shaft Rear Bearing Retaining Washer
Used only on DT440-P - DT485-P and DP440-P - DP650-P.

Failure Analysis

Failure Analysis
Failure analysis is the process of determining the original cause of a component failure in order to keep it from happen­ing again. Too often, when a failed component is replaced with­out determining its cause, there will be a recurring failure. If a carrier housing is opened, revealing a ring gear with a broken tooth, it is not enough to settle on the broken tooth as the cause of the carrier failure. Other parts of the carrier must be examined. For a thorough understanding of the failure and possible insight into related problems, the technician needs to observe the overall condition of the vehicle.
No one benefits when a failed component goes on the junk pile with the cause unknown. Nothing is more disturbing to a cus­tomer than a repeat failure. Systematically analyzing a failure to prevent a repeat occurrence assures quality service by avoiding unnecessary downtime and further expense to the customer.
The true cause of a failure can be better determined by know­ing what to look for, determining how a piece of the equipment was running and learning about previous problems. In the case of a rebuilt rear axle, mismatched gears may have been in­stalled. The more successful shops prevent repeat equipment failures by developing good failure analysis practices. Knowing how to diagnose the cause of a premature failure is one of the prerequisites of a good heavy-equipment technician.
How to Diagnose a Failure
The following five steps are an effective approach to good fail­ure diagnostics.
1. Document the problem.
2. Make a preliminary investigation.
3. Prepare the parts for inspection.
4. Find the cause of the failure.
5. Correct the cause of the problem.
Document the Problem
Here are some guidelines for starting to learn about a failure, including questions to ask:
Talk to the operator of the truck.
Look at the service records.
Find out when the truck was last serviced.
Ask: In what type of service is the truck being used?
Ask: Has this particular failure occurred before?
Ask: How was the truck working prior to the failure?
Failure Analysis
You need to be a good listener. Sometimes, insignificant or un­related symptoms can point to the cause of the failure.
Ask: Was the vehicle operating at normal tempera­tures?
Ask: Were the gauges showing normal ranges of op­eration?
Ask: Was there any unusual noise or vibration?
After listening, review the previous repair and maintenance records. If there is more than one driver, talk to all of them and compare their observations for consistency with the service and maintenance records. Verify the chassis Vehicle Identifica­tion Number (VIN) number from the vehicle identification plate, as well as the mileage and hours on the vehicle.
7
Failure Analysis
Make a Preliminary Investigation
These steps consist of external inspections and observations that will be valuable when combined with the results of the parts examination.
Look for leaks, cracks or other damage that can point to the cause of the failure.
Make note of obvious leaks around plugs and seals. A missing fill or drain plug would be an obvious cause for concern.
Look for cracks in the carrier housing (harder to see, but sometimes visible).
Does the general mechanical condition of the vehicle indicate proper maintenance or are there signs of ne­glect?
Are the tires in good condition and do the sizes match?
If equipped with a torque-limiting device, is it working properly?
During the preliminary investigation, write down anything out of the ordinary for later reference. Items that appear insignifi­cant now may take on more importance when the subassem­blies are torn down.
Find the Cause of the Failure
Here begins the real challenge to determine the exact cause of the failure. Keep in mind that there is no benefit to replacing a failed part without determining the cause of the failure. For ex­ample, after examining a failed part and finding that the failure is caused by a lack of lubrication, you must determine if there was an external leak. Obviously, if there is an external leak, just replacing the failed gear is not going to correct the situation.
Another important consideration here is to determine the spe­cific type of failure which can be a valuable indicator for the cause of failure. The following pages show different types of failures and possible causes. Use this as a guide in determin­ing types of failures and in correcting problems.
Correct the Cause of the Problem
Once the cause of the problem has been determined, refer to the appropriate service manual to perform the repairs.
Prepare the Parts for Inspection
After the preliminary investigation, locate the failure and pre­pare the part for examination. In carrier failure analysis, it may be necessary to disassemble the unit.
When disassembling subassemblies and parts, do not clean the parts immediately since cleaning may destroy some of the evidence.
When tearing down the drive axle, do it in the recom­mended manner. Minimize any further damage to the unit.
Ask more questions when examining the interior of the carrier. Does the lubricant meet the manufacturer specifications regarding quality, quantity and viscos­ity? As soon as you have located the failed part, take time to analyze the data.

Inspection

Inspection
Clean
1. Wash steel parts with ground or polished surfaces in solvent. There are many suitable commercial sol­vents available. Kerosene and diesel fuel are accept­able.
WARNING
Gasoline is not an acceptable solvent because of its extreme combustibility. It is unsafe in the workshop environment.
2. Wash castings or other rough parts in solvent or clean in hot solution tanks using mild alkali solutions.
Note: If a hot solution tank is used, make sure parts are heated
thoroughly before rinsing.
3. Rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of the cleaning solution.
4. Dry parts immediately with clean rags.
5. Oil parts.
If parts are to be reused immediately: Lightly oil.
If parts are to be stored: Coat with oil, wrap in
corrosion resistant paper and store in a clean, dry place.
Note: Replace conventional gaskets with silicone rubber gas-
ket compound (included in many repair kits). The com­pound provides a more effective seal against lube seepage and is easier to remove from mating surfaces when replacing parts.

1 - Axle housing 2 - Machined surface
Inspect Components
Inspect all steel parts for:
Notches, visible steps or grooves created by wear
Inspect Axle Housing
Axle housing inspection and repairs are limited to the following checks or repairs:
Visually inspect axle housing for cracks, nicks and burrs on machined surfaces.
Check carrier bolt holes and studs for foreign materi­al.
Replace damaged fasteners. Look for loose studs or cross threaded holes.
CAUTION
Any damage which affects the alignment or structural integ­rity of the housing requires housing replacement. Do not re­pair by bending or straightening . This process can affect the material's properties and cause it to fail completely un­der load.
Check all seals and gaskets.
Pitting or cracking along gear contact lines
Scuffing, deformation or discolorations. These are signs of excessive heat in the axle and are usually re­lated to low lubrication levels or improper lubrication practices.
In addition, inspect the following for damage:
Differential gearing
Bearings for loose fit on drive pinion, pilot bearing, and differential bearings
All fasteners for rounded heads, bends, cracks or damaged threads.
Inspect machined surfaces of cast or malleable parts. They must be free of nicks, burrs, cracks, scoring, and wear.
Look for elongation of drilled holes, wear on surfaces machined for bearing fits and nicks or burrs in mating surfaces.

Inspection
Inspect Primary Gearing
Before reusing a primary gear set, inspect teeth for signs of ex­cessive wear. Check tooth contact pattern for evidence of in­correct adjustment.
Check Input Shaft End-play (Forward Axle)
Note: Before disassembling the power divider, measure and
record input shaft end-play.
See illustration for steps 1-3.
1. Position dial indicator at yoke end of input shaft.
2. Push in on input shaft and zero the dial indicator.
3. Using a pry bar, move input shaft axially and mea­sure/record end-play.
3
Check Output Shaft End-play (Forward Axle)
See illustration for steps 1-3.
1. Position dial indicator at yoke end of output shaft.
2. Push in on output shaft and zero the dial indicator.
3. Using a pry bar, move input shaft axially and mea­sure/record end-play.

Adjustment
Correct end-play for a new assembly is .003" to .007". The maximum end-play for a used assembly is no more than .014". If end-play is incorrect, determine shim pack changes as fol­lows:
Add shims to increase end-play
Desired end-play (New Parts) 0.003" to 0.007"
Measured end-play (Step 3) 0.001”-0.001”
Add shims to provide desired end-play 0.002" to 0.006"
Remove shim to decrease end-play
Measured end-play (Step 3) 0.015" – 0.015"
Desired end-play (New Parts) 0.003” to 0.007”
Remove shims to provide desired end­play
0.012” to 0.008”
Adjustment
Correct end-play for a new assembly is .001" to .005". The maximum end-play for a used assembly is no more than .005". If end-play is incorrect, contact Dana.
