Thanks for doing all of the leg work on this one Trucky. I have thought of doing the upgrade to 4.10's as well and this has been a very interesting read. It seems like Dodge couldn't have screwed our trucks up more if they tried as far as aftermarket support. I love my truck, but this is crazy.

 

Working on it in the Ram forum right now, with the help of Emery too. We will get to the bottom of this.

 

good i will also try and hit up a local shop this week i found another that might know a little more

 

Yes let us know!

 

lol sorry i just found a small shop that all they do is gears just gotta find a second

 

Guessing you guys gave up on the gears? I was hoping you would find something, Thanks for looking/ posting all the info

 

End result is you have to either get a fabbed up gearset like superdak, or use the front axle off an 02-03 durango that you find in a junkyard, and put the aftermarket gears inside that. Overall not worth it in my opinion unless you stumble on a cheap used front axle.

 

X2 This is my question as well

 

did the durango come with 4.10 and was it ifs or solid axel

 

It doesn't come with 4.10 that's why I mentioned you have to get the axle AND drop in aftermarket (4.10) gears. I also thought I answered that 3.92 or 4.10 question already, I said it would not be worth all that money to upgrade to a stock gear ratio that is only 1 step above the lower (3.55) ratio. 4.10 or even 4.56 are the only way you are going to get your money's worth.
Let's not forget we are only talking about 4X4's with this problem. If you have 2X4 you can get 4.10 for the rear and they WILL fit no problem, just get the correct axle size (9.25 I believe).
As far as ISF or Solid I don't know for Durango...ask on the Durango forum?
