transmissions are exactly the same, 3/4 ton has a slightly meaner transfer case, that doesn't have the snap ring issue the 231 does. Of course, the 241 is a bit longer..... So, six of one, half dozen of the other on which way to go. Either way you are going to have to do some hoop jumping for driveshafts. What you might want to do, is investigate what is available for a reasonable price, and make your decision from there.

 

It is my undetstanding that the steer box is beefier on the 2500 & 3500 but i could be wrong on that the trans only change with model year engine size and 2wd or 4wd. A 46re is a 46re no matter 1/2 ton 3/4 ton or 1 ton. At least thats what my reasearch has turned up. I have no clue on the transfer case but I would like to know.

 

All V-8s got the 46 trans, the diesels, and 10's got the 47, and later, the 48. (all RH, or RE, depending on year. anything 96 and later will be RE.)

Half tons got the 231 transfer case.

3/4 and 1 tons got the 241, in varying flavors.......

 

Just curious HeyYou but is there anything about these trucks that you don't know??

 

What I don't know could fill volumes. But, I learn fast, read a lot, and don't really have much else to do. Besides, its fun.

 

Okay I wasn't quite sure, thanks for the info guys. I'm pretty new to the dodges so all the info you guys give is awesome. I do some pulln and want to run 35s and I didn't want to change gears in my 1/2t so I thought just put 3/4ts under it would help out pulln and lower gears

 

The 3/4 ton axles probably also have the 3.55 gears....... Mine does.

 

I think this one has 4.10s not sure tho have to check. Another thing is can u buy new spring mounts that I can just weld up to my truck since the 3/4t are 3" wide?

 

Can you cut the ones off of the donor truck?

 

I got a torch n plasma cutter just thought maybe was a place that made em
