I am about at my witt's end tryin to locate the proper "Auburn Style" spring retainer (or clutch) for my '93 W150.
I requested the build sheet from Chrysler Ram Assistance Center and was given the following information.


The Vehicle Build Sheet from Chrysler lists the following:

Code Description
DMDS 3.55 Rear Axle Ratio
DRBS Corporate 9.25 LD Rear Axle
DSA Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle

I ordered this part from Jegs
http://www.jegs.com/i/Auburn-Gear/109/541038/10002/-1

The one pictured in their catalog appeared to be what was required, however, what was sent to me was not the same configuration and consequentially has caused problems. here's a picture of what was sent as well as the broken parts of my old one. My case is 12 bolt and comes apart in two sections, as you can see... thus it is rebuild-able.How do I get my hands on the proper plate and springs? I was not happy when customer service at Jegs told me I might have to replace the entire differential as I have already replaced the ring and pinion gear and everything else is fine... if I can just get the right spring retainer unit!

3.55 ratio Chrysler 9.25" 31 spline 12 bolt cover

I can post pics of the case and #'s if that would help.

Appreciate any help you might have to offer. I've enjoyed the Forum and tried to glean all the info I've needed from the archives, but this has me stumped!

Thank You for the info emnestor.

I was unable to find any additional information on the doctordiff.com website, and haven't resorted to calling them directly after having been talked to like I was a complete idiot (or a know-nothing girl) by another well known Differential shop.

Let me put this a different (ial) way...

Can anyone tell me if the Chrysler 9.25 rear differential for my '93 Dodge W-150 is rebuildable or not?

I have been through several months of crap at this point with attempts to obtain the proper Auburn Style spring clutchplates and a plethora of conflicting information. Sometimes I wonder if I would get a different answer if I grew *********.

The most accurate information I have gotten has been from this Forum and I appreciate everyone's willingness to share their knowledge and expertise.

Thanks for any input!

 

I don't think you'll get that type of attitude from him, but I understand how ya feel.

 

Thanks again, emnestor. I will give the good Doctor a call this afternoon if I'm home soon enough.
I'm about due for a kinder, gentler 'tude.

Thanks again!

 

I posted your question on another forum. ill let ya know what I find

 

Thanks again, emnestor. Appreciate it.

 

All I got back so far...
the "CONE" style differential is NOT rebuildable or repairable and needs to be replaced if worn out / if it is the "clutch" style = non-auburn then those parts can be bought anywere = NAPA
