HELP!!! I'm ready to install the rear axles after having to rebuild the posi loc pinion bearings and low and behold, the axle seals are to big. Down to the parts store with the old ones and they cannot find any others listed for this truck or any other dodge close to it, any year. They want to "special order" them form a seal company REALLY, WTF!!!!!. I don't see the rear end tag. It is a 12 bolt, 392, 9.25 unit that appears to be stock but no seals. The dimensions are 2.25 dia. 1.6 axle dia. .3125 width. Can anybody shed light on this. Numbers somewhere else on the housing that may help? I'm at my wits end over the battle to get this truck going. Tks in advance.

 

Is there a number stamped on the old seal anywhere?? Rock Auto is showing a variety of possibilities there......

 

On the rubber is raised numbers 6830 MTP 8 I will look at rock auto. Tks for the fast response

 

Well, I have spent approx. 8 hours looking for this seal to no avail. I can't believe no one on this site has an answer but thanks anyway.

 

I used Timken # 8835S on my 03. Punch that number into Rock Auto part search.
Also look here.
