2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Dana 60 ??

[tcourse]

Can someone tell me if the gasser 2500 4x4 uses the same

Dana 60 as the Diesel.

I have the chance to pick up front and rear complete carriers with 410's cheap.

Thanks,

TC

AFAIK, they are exactly the same. I would make sure I got one from the same year to eliminate CAD issues of switching from one to the other...



BTW-- The current Dana 60 on our front ends is not quite as beefy as the old Dana 60 used behind Hemis back in the day..... But it's still plenty strong. . Especially when compared to the GM IFS!

Just an observation. The gassers have a different rear (the v10's might be the same ? ) Your truck has a 70 rear and the gassers have a 60 rear.

What cooker said,the V8 gasser has a D60 rear. The V10 uses the same rear as the cummins. Also beware that from 94-97 Dodge made a 7500GVWR 2500 LD pickup with 8 lug wheels,you could only get a 360V8 in it. The front axle on these models is a Dana 44,but it has 8 lug wheels. It will bolt right in place,but it only has a 3850lb GAWR. The rear on these trucks was a dana 60.

If there are 4 bolts that hold on the hun to the spindel, its the same axle, if there are 3, then its the light one.

For the record (no offense to Snow man) there were a few 2500LD's with 318's - I had the displeasure of owning a '94. I've heard rumour that some of these 2500LD trucks had 8-lug 9. 25 axles as well, not sure if that's true or not.

by only a 360 i meant n o Cummins or V10, .
