Well as far as I know it is the same axel, so it should not be too hard. There are also companies that make complete swap kits for those trucks, like Baer and AP racing.

 

Any body else know anything

 

As long as the diffs are the same and you can find a wrecked to swipe parts off it should be slam dunk, good luck finding a wrecked 4X4 with the same axle and 4-wheel disc that you can rob though. To buy all the stuff new would be huge money. Better off going with Baer.

 

this might be what your looking for...

Ok thanks at least this gives me somewhere to start. Does any one know if there were any difference in the 1999 and 2001.5 axels on the 2500 or are they both dana 80's????

 

Shouldn't be 80's in a 2500-should be 60 or 70. Ther are 4 possible axles used in late 90's early 2K they are 9.25, Dana 60, 70, and 80. Usually the 1500 has a 9.25 and 2500 has 60-70 leaving the 80 for the 3500.

 

Go to pavementsucks.com & do a search on axle swaps... those guys break things alot & are always upgrading... they can tell you what's what.

 

Ok I went to pavemt sucks and found out a little more info but still one thing are the axels the same or better yet do you know where I can look on my truck to tell what axel I have. Sorry for being a pain in A** I just dont want to screw this up and my truck lock up doing 70 down the freeway. When I do the brake swap I will take pic and try and post it for everyone.

 

Ok New question Does any body know anything about a check valve in the line with the drum brakes which would leave the disk starving for fluid??? because the axels from my 2001.5 and my 99 look identical and I believe the master cylinder is the same also.

 

Its called a residual pressure valve and it isn't in the master cylinder, its inline if it has one. BTW you have mail.
