I have the dynatec hubs on my 05 and really like the install. Very useful with low range two wheel drive. They have got me out of spots that would have been a problem without. The best upgrade I have done for my truck.

Does the Dynatrac kit work on DRW Ram's? And also, how much do OEM hubs cost? Does Napa or equivelant sell the OEM hubs? I'm trying to justify spending 18 bills...

What U-joint is going out? In the drive shaft or in the axle shafts?

I don't know for certain, but I can't see why it wouldn't. The front axles are the same on the DRW and SRW.

That's what I want to know. I plan on doing the Dynatrac conversion the first time the hubs need replacing.

man that thing is expensive. I dunno if I can justify spending that kind of money right now, but I don't know what the dealer is going to charge either after figuring out what is going on with my truck now. (GULP)

SO What is the cost for everything shipped to your door if I can ask?
Last time I ask them they had said it only fits up to 2002 and only dana 60.
The number is the same as the old one. CR60 makes you think its for the 60's.

It is for the AAM 9.25 that the 3rd gen. trucks have. I would suspect though
I'm not sure that the new replacement hubs are the same as used on a 60.
The AAM outers (knuckle out) may be the same as the previous 60, but I'm
not sure. Most of the 2nd gen. 60s had CAD ( central axle disconnect) which
the AAM does not have. The cost is $ 1795 + shipping. Some of the TDR guys
did a group buy and got them for around $ 1590. The kits are in high demand
for both the Dodges and Ford superdutys so it takes Dynatrac a while to get
one out. They have or work with a local foundry.

They're the same, but DRW's just have the dualie adapter on them. I don't know how the lock in/ lock out hubs would work with them. Ford did it somehow, i'm sure Dynatrac does, I just want to be certain.
