Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) bearing nut size

[GKinney]

Hey has anyone pulled the hubs off on the rear Dana 80 hybrid axle?? I see my hub seals are seeping and wondering if the nut was the same as my '89 was. Believe it is a 2-1/2" socket that I have for the bearing nut. TIA. gary

The D-80 Hibrid axle nut in the 2500's is 2 9/16.
