If it says 39 on the rear tag on the differential then it is a 3.92.

There are two different axles in the Durango.

There is a Chrysler 8.25 and a Chrysler 9.25........First you need to find out which one you got then go from there.

I think the 9.25 has a 12 bolt cover and 8.25 is only 10. You can also get a build sheet for your Durango that will have all the information you need. You can email Dodge, call Dodge service or go into a Dodge parts center and have them print you off one.

Go to the dodge website and use the customer assistance to request one.

There should be a sticker inside your glove compartment that will give you all the info on the rear diff specs.
