Hey, Whats with the 1ton, and i presume the 600 will also have the sameri front axel, looks like they went smaller on the ring gear,
ford did this a few years back to save some $
so who wants to sqeeze on the 600 with a little bit of weight?you just might here a big BOOM in the front diff.does any one know what they did on the ring gear? or is this my imagination.is it really smaller?

 

I donno Whiteknight, I went to take a look at my '03 to compare and I couldn't find a pumpkin under the front of my Ram

 

Its mainly in your head. The Dana 60 was 9.5 and the new ones are 9.25 I believe, I may have them reversed. Point is that it is a very small difference and the ring and pinion is not the weak link in a front axle any way, the axle shafts are. It has a higher weight rating then the Dana 60 also

 

thanks for replys im starting to feel a little better
