Default Gears

So I am doing gears, mainly because my truck is too damn slow, partially because i want to be able to sling mud better, and a little bit because it seems like fun...

So...

what the heck is my front axle? I called a dodge service department and they came back with "205 Heavy Duty Front".

I was under the impression that the 1500 4x4 had a corporate 8.25.

I looked under the truck (real easy now it is lifted) and it is a 12 bolt cover.

The truck is an 06 TRX4. Not a TRX4 off road; those get skid plates and other cool stuff like satellite radio. I get red shock absorbers, the sport grill and some stickers (and really really crappy in the mud wheels and tires).

the 205 refers to the size of the diff gear. basically it means it's 205mm heavy duty. also would depend on if you have the LSD.
