I find most people who say Dodges are junk have never sit in one, let alone owned one.

The new Dodges are awesome. They also even have a V6 Diesel now, which is something I wish Chevy would hurry up and get to already.
You don't win Truck of the Year Twice by having a shitty product, and this is coming from a guy who drives a Silverado. |

You can't really use your experiences in a 94 and 98 as justification to label the new generation of Ram trucks as junk. They are a completely different...

Lmao. Seriously? I doubt you or a previous owner never abused the truck and never had it apart and you blew out 3 of them. If you keep having the same problem maybe its not the trucks...... And a 92 is a completely and totally different truck than even a 03 much less the new ones. Don't talk shit about the best truck on the market.

Weird would of been Eaton or Dana depending if it were 8 3/4 or 9 1/4. Both are junk of course and have been both GM and Dodge's drivetrain for decades.

[QUOTE=
I thought the 9.25 was a chrysler?[/QUOTE] the Sure Grip/Open 8 sided pan was a Chrysler Corporate Axle but if you open one up you will see depending on year the Dana or Spicer upbringing (parts). This same axle was the basis for most big axle rear ends from the early 70s up to the late 90s early 2000s. GMs corporate axle was very similar in design. If it wasn't a Dana 60 or 44 it was this axle variation that carried both GM and Chrysler for years. Tear down the axle in a new truck and an AAM and the only difference you will find for the last decade is the carriers to keep you from using a Dodge in a GM or vice versa. You can still interchange if you have the right parts to space the ring gears. AAM axles are referred to know as the corporate axles for both. |

If you have some how managed to blow those up, it was not the truck sir, it was the driver doing something stupid. The rear ends are extremely strong and as said the insides are Dana, etc. I have honestly never heard of anyone personally blowing up either size rear end and I know plenty that have taken plenty of abuse on the track or hauling and towing.

My dad has 12 1500 hemi. Great truck seems pretty reliable and rides great, and is a beast in the snow. I prefer my 12 f150 , but would not hesitate to buy the ram.
