I was wondering if the Dana 60 was currently being used by any new car/truck manufacturers? Which reminds me, what differential is used in the new 700 plus horsepower Dodge Challengers? Thank you.
 
Mopar put a ford 9" in the no VIN number challenger drag cars.
 
I think the HD trucks use 70s or 80s now. I don't think there's anything in domestic production but there might be something overseas.
 
The new Challengers use a Getrag that is mounted solidly to the rear subframe. They use an independent rear suspension.
Dana 60 obsolete? Maybe I am not clear on that definition. I have considered the word to mean something that nobody services or makes replacement parts for. There are numerous companies still making parts and even entire assemblies.
