Where to get a Dana 60??

Ok, I realize this is all subjective. But, who has had good/bad luck with what source? Buy direct from strange? Go with someone else like a vendor here on the board like driveline solutions? Who has the best price and actually stands behind their product incase I do get a whiner?
Please dont use this to bash people, if you have had a really bad experience just pm me and let me know the details, and I will put it through a sieve.
But, I do want to know the good and the bad.
Which driveshaft did you get as well?
I have a 6 speed, so should I go 4:10 or 4:11? Which is the one that comes with dana 60's?
Which posi is best for longevity, the clutch type or gear type?

This will be 95% street driven, and some track time. I will take it to the track just to see how fast she is, and then just occasionally just for fun.

I cant wait to hear opinions!!!!

Thanks
Cody

I got my Strange 12 thru T. Byrne https://www.camaroz28.com/links/show...&catid=2&ltr=T a supporting vendor here during a sale posted in the vendor sale section. Seamless deal, good price, and the Strange was totally bolt in. If I were going to buy a Dana 60 I'd get the S60 from Strange.

DTS, Strange, Moser all sell and stand behind thier product pretty well, I'm sure they've all had complaints though.

Detroit True-Tracker is a really nice design better that is durable, stay away from lockers unless you like a lot of strange rear end noises, Cheaper is not better when it comes to this stuff.

As foar as 4:10 or 4:11, if you're wondering from a gear ratio standpoint, they are so close there is no difference. One small burnout will change the "gearing" (due to tire height) more than a one-hundredth of a turn diff...in the diff.

lol ok guys. I just meant which one does strange offer, the 410 or 411. Or both? No clue. I also dont want a locker, I have heard they are not the best for the street. I would rather stay with the clutch type.
Keep them commin guys!! Thanks!!
