hey guys just a question i blew the rear end last nite on my 2000 r/t all the little rings and spider gears are chewed....what options for a rear end do i have? does it have to be another r/t or will a diff gear set from a dakota work if its a 12 bolt also??

i think thats the chrysler 9.25 get it rebuilt with something other than stock...auburn makes some nice lsd's but anything will be better than the crappy c-clip stocker.

you can do an auburn lsd swap and throw in some lower gears (all the way up to 4.56) and it will scream.

i would say go that route and dont try to replace it with a stock r/t rear end, especially if you plan on making some power, as it will just get shreded again
