Blue should have two Dana 60's, red has a 60 up front and a Dana 70 (AT) or 80 (MT)in back. Red has a much bigger cooling system than a V8,V10's and diesels use the47RE tranny, diesels and V10's had the 241HD with PTO.

That's a gas 5.9 in the other 2500 right?

The v10 would definitely have a beefier trans (47RE) compared to a identical 5.9 gas and maybe a HD transfer case.
I think they will have the same DANA 60 axles though.A 3500 should have DANA 70 axles.

yes the blue dodge is a gas 2500 with the 5.9 litre 5-speed with 3:55 gears

red dodge is the v10 with automatic and 4:10 gears.

any idea weather the brakes/driveshaft/any other main drivetrain componatesare any bigger? or are they basically the same besides the engine trans, and the possible dana 70 rear axle.

My 98 V10 2500 has the D70 in the rear D60 up front 241 non-hd, no pto. I think the 2500 V10's run the same axles despite what motor is run.
