Tech Note 1: Verify Axle Model
American Axle Manufacturing has supplied AAM 10-1/2" and 11-1/2" 14 bolt full floating rear axles to Ram (formally Dodge) for Ram trucks since the start of the 2003 model year. The 10-1/2" axle is primarily used on 2500 series trucks with gas V8 engines. AAM 11-1/2" rear axles are mostly found on Diesel or V10 gas 2500 models and as far as I can verify all Ram 3500 trucks with either single or dual rear wheels. There may be exceptions, so always verify your axle model before ordering parts that are specific to one axle.

Tech Note 2: Design
QU50247 is a unitized oil bath rear wheel seal that is designed so the inner sleeve rotates within the outer Seal Shell. This means the seal is a press fit on both the spindle and in the wheel hub. This design, in which the seal rotates within itself eliminates one of the most troublesome causes of wheel seal leaks with one piece conventional seals which often groove the spindle. Unlike conventional seals which have the seal lip directly rotating and wearing on the spindle, our Oil Bath Seal seal lip rotates on the seals fixed inner sleeve so there is no wear on the spindle at all.

Tech Note 3: Tool
2003-up Dodge Ram AAM full floating rear axles use Oil Bath Type Inner Wheel Seals. One of the most common causes of oil bath seal failure is improper installation. To properly install your new QU50247 Seal, order optional QT1547 Rear Wheel Seal Installer which is specifically designed to install your new seal evenly and without damage thereby eliminating wheel oil leaks caused by installation errors.

Tech Note 4: Check Axle Vent
Another possible cause of wheel seal leakage is pressure buildup caused by a plugged axle vent hose and/or fitting. Always check axle vent components for free air flow. A clogged vent hose will quickly cause your new seal to fail.

Tech Note 5: AAM
American Axle Manufacturing (AAM) is Tier 1 original equipment automotive supplier based in Detroit. In 1994, AAM investors purchased General Motor's Final Drive and Forage division. AAM axles and driveshafts have been used in Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks since the start of the 2003 model year. QU50247 is a genuine AAM original equipment part.

Rear axle seal, worked great

skip on Jun 30, 2022

My old seals were due to be replaced 20 years on the truck, and 189K miles. It was time, this fit up nice and sealed great so far. I have 200 miles on the truck since in stall. Clean the mating service well before installing you get one shot.
