Griff... are you SURE its the DS930? My friend said it was 28.25 between the zerts... didn't you say the DS930 was only 24"?
Thinking I might have to try and cancel first thing in the morning...
Oops, you're right ... I got the two lengths confused. DS1000 is correct, with listed length of 29.1 inches.
This means you have the lighter duty front axle option, which is identical to the B100/200/300 vans. So, you can get front end parts from regular parts stores, rather than places specializing in medium duty parts.
However, always have the parts counter person crosscheck against B100/200/300 parts ... someone could have listed incorrect 4000/4500# parts due to lack of knowledge, misunderstanding differences in axles, or making assumptions.
Difference between measured 28.25 and published 29.1 length could be due your friend having difficulty measuring what you have now ... it could also be due to what points they were using for the published length.
I would assume zerk-to-zerk is best but the engineers might have thought otherwise. Likewise, someone might have measured or WAG'ed it, when putting together publication. (The 32" length you mentioned was likely from someone actually measuring one ... and incorrectly using LOA length.)
Again, I apologize for the confusion ... I should have looked back at the previous posts, which I was careful to ensure I listed correct published lengths.
Depending on who you ordered it from, they should have a no problem cancelling it, or allowing you to return it. (This is one of the reasons I prefer buying locally ... plus most Alaska businesses have economical shipping channels, which online vendors can't match or even come close to.)
