Does anybody know what kind of rear end comes in the dakota.(like dana 44 for example) Also does anybody know what the front end is on the 4x4. I already know my gear ratio just having trouble figuring out what kind of rear end and front end i have. Any help is appreciated.

If I am not mistaken, I think that the V-8 Dakota's and maybe the trucks with the H.D towing packages have a Chrysler 9.25" axle and the standard trucks have something like a 8.25" axle. Don't hold me to this, but I remember reading something along these lines.

Not Dana's
The front axle is a c205f
C = Corporate
205 = mm ring gear
F = Front.

Patrick,
All the shops I have talked to including numerous dealers say the front on 2000 Daks is a reverse cut Dana 35. I have always understood that corporate axles were GM axles. Ford has always used their own 8.25 or 9 in rears and some times Dana's up front usually 44's, GM - Corporate 12 or 14 bolt rears and sometimes Danas up front and Dodge/Chrysler uses Chrysler 8.25's or 9.25's. All the ring and pinion shops I have talked to ( Randy's, 4 Wheel Parts, Precision Gear etc) all list Chrysler and Coporate axles seperatly. I could be mistaken but that I what I have found over the years.
