Pricing between Moser and Strange isn't much.  I have a Moser 60 and the experience with dealing with them was good.

I have purchased quite a few items from DrDiff....never had a problem and very helpful. I would try calling him.
He is a Strange Dealer. The strange housing has the side adjusters that make gear setup much easier.

Another Dr Diff guy here. He seels complete packages too. He's usually very good at communicating, but he drives to shows. I tried to get him once the week before Columbus...He didnt get back to me for almost 9 days...lol.

Ordered a Moser 60 last week. They were very easy to deal with and also very fast. I ordered it on Monday and it was delivered on Friday. It will be a few more months until I have the car running but I have only heard good things.

I got a Dr Diff built Dana 60 for my 'Cuda. I haven't seen it yet as it's shipping over with my car, certainly looks the part. He uses Strange Diff housing units and a mixture of parts he thinks are best. Basically, he puts all of the best parts together on the market to make the ultimate unit. No one place makes a "superior" diff but when you put them together through years in the hobby, experience and trial & error that's when achieving the best is possible. I heard about him at Moparts and he is well respected over there, they're a tough crowd so that bodes well for him. :2cents:

Another company that supplies Dana rears is Currie Enterprises.  Look them up on the web.

That pretty much sums up the same experience I had with them.  Mine ran about $2400 with the billet yoke and aluminum cover.
