I have and 02 Ram 2500 Quad Cab short bed and need to confirm that it has a Dana 60 up front and a Dana 70 in back. Is this true? If so, what trucks have the Dana 80 and what is the difference between that and the Dana 70?

 

It helps us all if you fill in your sig line with info about your truck.<br>If you have an auto trans, then your rear is a Dana 70 hybrid.<br>If you have a std trans, then you have an 80.<br><br>Welcome to the site!

 

I believe only the 2x4 autos have the 70 in the rear. If yours is a 4x4 then I would say it has a 80.<br>DM01

 

Ok, I'm going to have to go search for data, but for now I will disagree with the above posts.

a 2500 auto has the dana 70
a 2500 manual has the hybrid dana 70/80
a 3500 has the only true dana 80

 

Oops...<br><br>both 2500 and 3500 has the dana 60 up front.

 

This is Dana's website DANA

 

I am attaching the factory sticker picture of a 2500 5spd...if ya look down to rear axle, it shows a &quot;hybrid 80&quot;. This is the same center as a true 80, but with smaller axles from the 70.

(I hope this works)

 

I've got a 2002 2500 with the 5spd, and my sticker just says Dana 80

 

Thanks for all the info guys. I must have the D70 then because I have the Auto. BTW...here's my truck:<br><br>http://www.cardomain.com/id/rattlindodge

Disagree. Well you just said the same thing I did in the first few lines. but I did forget to put the 2500 in there. so you got me there.
DM01

 

Open your glove box and there should be a assembly line code list. You should clearly be able to tell what you have by that.

 

i have a 2500 4x4 auto...dana 70 rear,,dana 60 front...if it helps..

What makes the axle a &quot;hybrid&quot;?? My sticker says I have a Spicer 70 rear end.

 

Fishcop, the hybrid means just as stated above:<br><br>True Dana 80 center (ring and pinion) and Dana 70 axle tubes and 1.5 inch axles.<br>
