Tech Note 2: Axle Tag Numbers
During the 1994 to 2002 model years, Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks using Dana-Spicer rear axles were available with an optional clutch-type Limited Slip differential. DANA 80: Both the Powr-Lok™ and Trac-Lok™ were used in the Model 80. Powr-Lok™ differentials were an option for 1994 to early 1999 model years. Production of Model 80 Powr-Lok™ units and internal gears ceased in 1998. If a Model 80 Powr-Lok™ needs more than clutches, it has to be replaced by a Trac-Lok™ or other differential assembly. Starting very early in the 1999 model year, the Dodge Dana 80 limited slip option was the Trac-Lok™. Externally, Model 80 Powr-Lok™ and Trac-Lok™ cases look similar as both are of a two-piece design, however, they are easily identified by the shape of the cross-shaft pin ends. The Powr-Lok™ pins are oval with one side angled. Trac-Lok™ pin ends are round.
1998-Early 1999 Axle Tags Numbers with a Powr-Lok Diff: 605982, 605983, 605984, 605985, 606064

Tech Note 5: Tech Help
Do the job right the first time. See my 26 page, color illustrated TM4400 Pinion and Differential Bearing Service On Dana-Spicer Monobeam Axles with over 75 photos for the correct differential bearing replacement and adjustment service procedures.

Tech Note 6: Pinion Depth
If you are changing gear sets, your new Pinion Depth must be set before calculating the differential shim pack thicknesses. After setting the pinion depth, use a dial indicator and QT1099 Master Bearings to determine the amount of shims required to get the required gear lash and differential bearing preload.
