Default Need a rear differential/axle for 1998 ram 2500

Hi guys, so my 1998 ram 2500 v8 was having some rear end issues recently. I took it to the mechanic and he said a screw came loose it the rear diff causing major damage not worth rebuilding. He said it will need a whole new rear differential. I have looked everywhere for new and used differentials. I can't seem to find anything. Its the 4.10 gear ratio. Does anyone have one for sale or know where I could get one?

Likely a D60. They really shouldn't be that hard to find. Dodge used them in a LOT of trucks....... Car-Part.com should scare one up for you.

Check Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace and car-part.com - there shouldn't be an issue finding one unless you're in a very remote area or outside of the continental USA. Which rear differential is in your truck? (ie: Dana 60, Dana 70, etc.)
