The 14 Bolt American Axle Manufacturing (AAM) Model 925 5,500 pound rated Front Beam Axle debuted in the 2003 model year Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 4x4 trucks. The AAM 925 replaced the Dana-Spicer Model 60 front axle used in the 1994-2002 versions of the big Ram trucks. The new axle retained the 5-link coil spring front suspension used in the previous model with 4 short trialing arms behind the axle and a tracking bar the linked the right frame rail to the left side of the axle beam. The differential and gear set are adequate for the stock Cummins Diesel or gasoline engines and rarely pose major problems unless severely abused or neglected. However, the same can not be said for the rest of the axle. Ball Joint failures with this axle are a chronic problem due to the size and design of the steering knuckle. The life expectancy of the original wheel hubs and axle universal joints is only fair to good. Another known issue with these axles is the axle tubes can loosen up from the differential housing causing alignment and tracking problems. The AAM925 14 Bolt axle was phased out and replaced by the 6,000 pound capacity AAM925 12 Bolt Electric Disconnect axle with 3 link front suspension in the 2013 Ram 3500 and 2014 Ram 2500.
