2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission years for discs?

[btanner]

I am looking for the years that the drw dana 80s started having discs. I am trying to trade out my 4. 10s and it seems that the cheapest option is going to be buying an entire axle to bolt in. Since I"m going to be buying an axle I'd like to upgrade to discs while I'm at it. So what are the years that the drw dana 80 was offerred with discs? Thanks

Rear disc's were a midyear change. They are what we call a 2001. 5.

so 2001 and up and check for discs? I am going through a junkyard to get the axle so that's what the year range is needed for.

The master cylinder may need to be changed as well, if you go with discs on the rear.

my 02 has them. Best thing dodge did for the 2nd gen brakes! The fronts actualy last longer with rear disk (I guess because the rear drums were always out of adjustment and never worked).



I used to do front brakes on the 98 every 15k. The 02 has 30K and the front brakes look brand new!
