2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission rear end questions

[Mhannink]

ok so i hear that all second gen 3500's have dana 80's is that right?

 

[CumminsPower98]

That's correct.

 

[Mhannink]

10-4 thanks

I don't know if it matters to you or not, but I think all the 2500 eth-dee's got em too! dana 80 with srw

 

[TAbbott]

Just the heavy duty 2500's I think. There were others that got Dana 70's.

 

[Okie-Go]

The 01 2500 6 speed I had was a Dana 80. I know for sure, put a locker and Mag-hytec cover on it.

My 97 2500HD was a Dana 70 w/4. 10 Trak-Loc for sure, then again it was a gasser... . maybe that has some bearing?

 

[CumminsPower98]

If I am correct the auto 2500s came with the 70 and manuals had the 80. This is for the Diesels, I don't know about gassers. My '98 was originally a 5 speed with dana 80 (8800).

 

[FLynes]

Makes sense to me, my 97 had the 46RE in it.

 

[Mhannink]

all second gen 2500 autos are dana 70's the manuals and all 3500's are 80's



now another question a 4. 10 srw dana 80 should be able to simply change to 3. 55 gears out of an 01 (i think) 3500 right. no need to change carriers or anything like that.

 

[B KIRK]

A Dana 80 with 4:10 gears uses a different carrier than the 3:55 gears.

A Dana 70 will interchange 4:10 & 3:55 with the same carrier.
