Subject: What rear end do I have? IP: Logged
Message: This may be a stupid question, but I want to know how to tell what rear end I have. I have a 94 4x4 with the 5.2. It is an open differential, but I do not know what gears I am running. I am not knowledgeable about rear ends, so I figured I could start here. Does it say what it is on the case itself? Or would I have to use my VIN?

Message: Thank you for your input. I went to AutoZone to buy gaskets for my diff covers, they said there was two choices. However, AutoZone told me I had a frame mounted fuel filter too, I do not. So I am not the least bit suprised if there was no other option for my truck.

Message: they did make more than one rear end for your truck. however, 9.25" was not one of them yet. the 9.25 replaced the 8.25 in later years i believe. anyhow, they made a smaller rearend for the v6 models. so if its a v8 4x4, its got the 8.25. very reliable rear end. i think its better than the newer 9.25 pos.

Holy sh!t man I thought that dodge started the 9 1/4 back in the early sixties.
It's also strange how they would put only this "P.O.S" behind the 426 hemi.
Or any purpose built stock drag car (eg '68 hemi dart,'66 dart 270 drag) or nascar.
Hmmm.

Message: MANN: Actually it wasn't a 9 1/4" behind the Hemi cars, it was a 9 3/4" (Dana 60). I love the "know it alls" here. Geez.

Message: I must be one of the few then, I've never had a problem with the 9 1/4" in my '01. It also has the limited slip. I change the oil occasionally, run synthetic and have 50K miles on it.
