HO/auto w/ larger rear axle?

When the HO/auto combo comes out, will it be available with the larger 11.5 rear axle or the 10.5 only? Anybody have this info yet? Thanks!<br>Chris

Re:HO/auto w/ larger rear axle?

Would you happen to know what the SO/NV4500 gets - 11.5 or 10.5? I'm not sure whether the 11.5 goes on just HO trucks or just stick shift trucks?

Re:HO/auto w/ larger rear axle?

For the 2500's it is based on the engine, not the transmission. S.O. gets 10.5 and the H.O. gets 11.5

Cheers

Re:HO/auto w/ larger rear axle?

Stopped at the dealer last night, and they told me 11.5 is duallies, and 10.5 is everything SRW. This is not correct, is it?<br>Chris

No, that isn't correct - 11.5 in all HO diesels for sure. But I dunno if that will apply to the new auto or just the 6 speed.

Thanks, LonCray,<br> The sales guy was using some little touch-screen vehicle configurator - no build sheets or anything. Anyway, I learned not to trust dealers a long time ago LOL. Thanks again.<br>Chris

Re:HO/auto w/ larger rear axle?

I have a SO/NV4500 Cal version truck and it has a 11.5&quot; rear axle. I was told all the Diesel trucks get the 11.5, does not matter if it is a 2500 or 3500 SRW or DRW. You would only get the 10.5&quot; axle if it is a gasser. At least thats what I was told and what I saw on 20+ trucks, some hemi's and most diesel on the lot here.

jsr21,<br><br>I forget to mention that on the CTD 2500's w/auto trans they had the 10.5&quot; rear axle, 4x4 or 2x4. Not sure why DC did it this way.<br><br>Pappyman,<br><br>Santa Rosa Dodge and Eposti Dodge, two dealers within 15 minutes of each other here in N.California. That was in late November, don't know what they have at the moment.<br><br>

Hey Pappyman,<br> I have over 50 HD Rams in inventory, and about 10 new coming in every week. Come on down from Georgia (congrats to the Bulldogs by-the-way) and see me in the Great State of Texas!
