2001 3.92 rear fit in an 2002 3.92 rear?
i recently have been going through a horror show with my 02 dodge ram 1500 5.9l. after replacing transmission 20k ago i just had to replace motor. after that was done it was discovered my rear end was on its last leg. full of metal shavings. having a hard time finding a 3.92 rear for my truck. i have found one out of a 2001 but dont know if it will work. even though my truck is 3rd gen it was early in year so i believe its closer in parts to a 2nd gen but im not sure. any help is appreciated.

Whatever used rear you decide to put under your truck, please be sure to check the sealing areas for leaks, as leaks leading to low fluid are one of the most common causes of rear end failure. Check the pinion seal, axle seals and cover gasket to ensure they are in good shape and not leaking.

The Achilles heel for those rears with limited slip are the clips that the clutches ears fit into. The crack and grind themselves into the housing, then get loose and take teeth out of the ring/pinion or tone ring. Best thing you can do is find one with a good housing, then swap in the gears and aftermarket limited slip unit.
