Rearend help
Hey yall. So my rear ends about to take a crap again. It's already been rebuilt 2 times only 20k on this rebuild so needless to say I just wanna put a whole different rear axle in it. 98 4x4 ram 2500 Dana 60s front and rear. I found locally a Dana 60 out of an 06 chevy express van with my same 4.10 gear ratio, I know it's disc brakes but other than that how hard would it be to make this one work. He only wants 300 for it but if it's gonna take a ton of work it's not worth it. I don't know a whole lot about how different they'd be so any help would be appreciated

I *think* at some point, the tone ring changed....... so pulses per mile changed...... but I am not 100% sure on that...... aside from that, should matter over much. (but, would bear some looking into.) We had another member that did this swap.... think there is a thread on it around here somewhere..... might try looking that one up.

The rear I picked up has bad pinion bearings in it at a minimum. I suspect the carrier may be hurt in it, too. I'll likely have to swap my PowerLoc unit with tone ring from my existing rear over to the disc brake rear. Was also planning to swap over to 4.10 ring and pinion too.
Thanks for the thoughts. I'll check for the swap thread.

Okay I'm about to order this kit to rebuild my current rear I just need to help make sure this is correct. This says spline count is 29 but I thought I had a 30. It's the 8800 lb truck lsd if that matters. Someone please help me out and let me know is this the right one http://m.ebay.com/itm/271442962634?cmd=VIDESC&gxo=true
