Default Main bearing

I have a 1996 Dakota 3.9L, and the top main bearing is wider than the bottom. Every main kit I buy is wrong. What do I need to order.

So are the ones they are sending you different sizes top and bottom??? The ones in your engine shouldn't be... and they are all the same, 87 to 03.....

Default Main bearings

The ones that I took out of the motor, the top main is wider than the bottom. And all I can find are the same size. I used my calipers to measure the oem and the new. Huge difference in the top.

Even the part number is different on the top main.
