2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Truck ID

Hey guys ,

As you can see I got a '99 2WD , I started to buy brake pads, Performance Friction and
the parts catalog says there is 2 different sizes.
So it says 3500/3850 or 4500/4850 axles, how do I figure that out, or where
do I look?

Also I was looking for coils for front and it only shows 7500# not 8800#.
Is that correct ? or should I keep looking.

Here's VIN if needed 3B7KC2363XG204597

Thanks for any and all help?

You should have the heaver ones. look in the drivers door jamb, should have max axle ratings there

For the front springs I'm not sure, for awhile I had two 2wd Ram 2500 Cummins, short box extra cab. One was a 1998 the other 2001. The '01 front springs and suspension looked heavier & beefier than the '98. 1999 was the last year of the older generation suspension components, Dodge made a lot of changes for 2000 including sealed wheel bearings and nothing is interchangeable between the two generations.

Hi

Bob V, you were right 4400# front axle but it also says 6080# rear axle.
So can anybody make anything out of this, is it a 7500# or 8800# GVW?

Maybe theres anther place to look on truck?

When I look up springs it says 8800 4WD is the same as 7500 2WD.

Thanks a lot for the replies!

there should have been GVW on the same sticker

My 98.5 4x4 is an 8800lb GVW. FAWR 4850 and RAWR 6084. I would assume the 2x4 has the same GVW, but have never owned one so Im not sure.

The 8800 GVW is a conservative number from Dodge as far as I'm concerned. The FAWR is limited to the steering/suspension components, the RAWR is limited to the OEM tires.

Thanks for all the attention guys and boy is my face red BobV .
Shouldn't of been in such a hurry I would have seen it the first time.

Anyways Bob4x4 the spring codes are Greek to me, you'll have spell that out a
little better than that. But Thanks very much.

I'll go back to the parts books and check it out some more , but like I said
they say still got me confused on weights on 2wd .

BTW mine does say 8800# on tag. Thanks

The spring codes will tell the parts counterman what springs the truck was built with.
