i have a 1999 dodge ram 1500 sport and i wana know what kind of front axle i have i dont know how to tell.

 

my dodge has a sticker underneath the hood that shows what it is, but more likely than not you have a dana 60 I would guess. look on the bottom side of the hood and it should show you though. or if not, go to the closest oil shop, and they can tell you.

 

It is a Dana 44.

 

alright, hes got the answer for ya, I dont have a sport so I couldnt tell you. But again, if you want more confirmation, you should have something under your hood, or the oil place can tell you. But I would take his word for it. good luck with your endeavors whatever you are trying for. Although, I would stick with the same axel, Dodges run pretty strong axels.

 

It's a Dana 44 as said above and it's not that strong of an axle. It has a lot of weak spots especially if you are running 35" or larger tires. It's not the best setup out there. The rear axle is fairly strong but the D44 up front is why most people do swaps.

All the 1500's are the D44. You have to step up to the 2500 for a D60. The sports have no effect on the axles. The offroad package has the D44 up front trussed but it's still the same axle just a little more metal on the housing.

 

hm...my dodge is running a 60 up front, its a 98 1500 4X4 5.2 liter, I just went out and checked, although the axel may have been switched when it was in the wreck...so I dont know...

 

whats my rear axle then?

 

The rear is a Chrysler 9.25".

I only know the axles because I am dealing with a rear end issue right now. Everyone on this forum was very helpful to me in telling me everything I needed to fix the problem, and what kind of axles I had.

 

Do you have 8 lug nuts on your front wheels?

 

nah, i got the standard 6, let me go take a look again, but last time I got an oil change they said it was a 60 and the sticker under the hood says its a 60
