Subject: Rear axle 91 Dakota ? IP: Logged
Message: I want to change out the rear axle on a 91 Dakota 2 wheel drive with a 3.9, I called a dealership and gave them the VIN of the truck and he told me it had a 9.25" rear end. This didn't sound right to me so I called another dealership and was told it was an 8.25", so for the heck of it I tried a third dealership and he told me that it had the 7.25" So now that I am totally confused - I do know that it is a 10 bolt with a kind of stop sign shape to the cover, it has 2 tags on it, one has 3.2 on it and the other has 2200 on it, again the dealerships were clueless to help. Doing a search at Salvage yards so far hasn't turned up a match, so my question is does anyone know what I do have with the info I listed and (or) is there a rear-end that will swap with this one without any fabrication, also this has the ABS. Any help would sure be appreciated.

Message: I changed my gears out for 3.92 as well a decade ago. I also got the sure-grip put in too. It was well worth the effort and cost. I think I got the sure grip assembly for about $250 from a dealer in NJ. They shipped it. I have the printout of all the options on my truck from when I bought it but I seem to remember that you can look at the bolt pattern to find out the size of the rear axle. Its strange that you got three different answers from the dealers. THey should just be able to put in your vin and get the 2 page printout.
