wanting to learn the type of axle is in my 1998 2500 4x4 ram....is there a vin code of this info and can anyone point me to where this info is available.

 

Most all Dodge 2500s came with dana 60 up front. Out back it could have been a 60, 70 or 80. 80's were usually reserved for either 1 ton trucks or diesel configured 2500s. The build tag on your rear axle cover will tell you what it is.

 

2500 V8 = 60
2500 diesel/v10 auto = 70
2500 diesel/v10 manual = 80
3500 = 80


Something like that. Find the BOM number stamped into your axle tube and Google it.
