Front axle interchange?
Hi I've got a 95 Dodge Ram 4x4 Vin Z. Short story I need a complete axle (D44 -3.54) assembly for the front because the housing got bent.
What is the interchange- It looks like something is different on the 96 and up which are easier to find. I was wondering if a newer one will work or can it work. Thanks! ( Ram 2500)

If you have the HD you will need to get a Dana 60 front from any 2nd gen dodge 2500 HD. You can get any year but as mentioned earlier there is a difference in control arms bolts in later years (sometime 99+ I can't remember).
If you have the LD 2500 it is very unlikely that you will ever find another LD 2500 to get an axle from. You are in luck though as you can either get a Dana 60 as it will bolt in (may want to get front drive shaft for the different u-joint size). You can also get a Dana 44 from a 2nd gen 1500 and swap you wheel bearings and rotors over as that is all that is different between the 1500 and 2500LD front axles.
Remember to get the same gear ratio no matter what axle you buy.
