Need help with 2001 axle ID
I bought a rear axle from a guy and all he could tell me about it is that it came from a 2001 2 wheel drive diesel.
it doesn't have the BOM tag, so no help there.
What I can tell you about it
3.5 inch axle tube dia.
Disk brake
8 lug
3.55 LSD
71 inch Wms to Wms
On the bottom of the webs on each side of the differential housing " 70-U2" is stamped
Thanks for any and all information

The Dana 80 axle tubes get bigger [4 inch IIRC] right behind the backing plate.
The Dana 70s are the same diameter the whole length 3.5 IIRC
70 and 80 is also cast into the axle housing.
It is cast into on the right hand side lower webbing next to the diff. cover IIRC.

Dana 70s came in the auto 2500s
The auto 3500 dually trucks and ALL manuals came with Dana 80s.
We are talking diesel trucks ONLY here of course.

This may help you out. Dodge Ram Axle Specifications
Also, the disc brakes were introduced in 2001.5 but because of tooling and assembly line supply, you can find some 2001 trucks with discs "and" you can also find some 2001.5 trucks with drum brakes. The same rule of thumb goes for many of the changes which took place in the 2001.5 and 2002 model changes. Some have them, some dont because it merely depended on what the assembly had left in stock before they re-tooled.
