Subject: 01 3.9 Rear End Swap
IP: Logged

Message:
I need to swap out the rear end on my 01 Dakota Sport 3.9 4x4 extended cap. I've located a donor from an 02 Dak 4.7 auto 4x4. It has the same ratio (3.55). Does anyone know if this is a match? I'm guessing I have the 10 bolt and am wondering if this is a 12 and if everything will match up. Any thoughts? This may be anwered in another thread but I couldn't find what I'm asking.

I think what you are talking about is the same, there are two different axle assemblies, one is a 8 1/4 and the other is a 9 1/4, the way to tell the difference is, the 8 1/4 has a almost round cover with the top and bottom with flat spots, the 9 1/4 looks more like a stop sign and I think they both have only 10 bolts, I could be wrong on that though. I do believe they will inter change just be sure the wheel/tires are the same size and it should be ok.
Good Luck
