We stock an excellent selection of parts for Dana 70 Rear Axles in 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 trucks with gasoline or Cummins Diesel engines. Dodge used Dana 70 Rear Axles in heavier gross vehicle weight Ram 2500 models equipped with gas V-8 engines PLUS Ram 2500 trucks with Cummins Diesel or V-10 gas engines AND automatic transmissions. Dodge did not use the Dana 70 in 1994-2002 Ram 3500 vehicles.
Although the basic design of these Dana axles has been well proven over many decades, you should remember that until the late 1980's, very few work vehicles ever saw the far side of 150,000 miles unless they were totally rebuilt. With the power and durability of newer diesel and fuel injected gas engines and the severe loads they can impose on the drivetrain, you should plan on doing a complete re-bearing job on your 1984-2002 rear axle every 125,000-150,000 miles to prevent catastrophic failures.

A number of engineering changes were made by Dana over the 1994-2002 model years. Most of these occurred between 1999 and 2001. After producing axles for Dodge trucks since the 1950's, Dana lost the contract to produce rear drive axles for Dodge to American Axle Manufacturing (AAM was once the GM Axle Division) effective for the 2003 model year.
