At least 2 for me! That's one of the things I like about DF. One does not have to be shy about asking, and someone will always be willing to pass on their knowledge.

Yes, they can command a good bit of coin. Stock ones, as anything, will usually need rebuilding. I've seen them no less than $500, but price will also be dictated by location, availability etc. Other than that....have a cherry picker to get it moved around. You being in TX, I think it could be favorable to you.

In TX they will worth quite a bit. In Tyler they pop up on Cl every once in a while for 2k+ plus a set in stock non rebuilt form and they always sell pretty quick.

Also the axles from a v8 2500 are not the same as the v10 or diesel correct?

You should be able to use the 15's if you trim a little off your calipers

Not sure if 15's will fit on the 3/4 ton axles or not...... the rotors and such on the fronts are pretty big.......

Front axles are exactly the same on 3/4 ton trucks, regardless of engine installed, or what fuel it burns.

Rears change with the engine/trans combo though. V-10's get the 70 regardless I think, der diesel will have a 70 with an auto trans, and 80 with manual trans.

I don't think the 90% with 4.10 figure is correct though..... most of the 3/4 ton's I have seen around here, including mine..... have 3.55s.

rears MIGHT fit with 15s.. front won't.. BUT if you find and older par of 60s off a dodge(dont remember year) i think they will fit... might be easier going 16s unless your 44s are 15s...
