Axle Question
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?

Re:Axle Question
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!

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

Re:Axle Question
I am attaching the factory sticker picture of a 2500 5spd...if ya look down to rear axle, it shows a "hybrid 80". This is the same center as a true 80, but with smaller axles from the 70.
(I hope this works)

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.

Re:Axle Question
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.
