Tech Note 1: Interchangeable Wheel Seal Types 
There is conflicting application information for rear Wheel Seal replacement between Dana and Dodge on 1994-2002 Dodge Ram Dana 60-70-80 Single Rear Wheel (SRW) rear axles because Dana used two different, but functionally interchangeable Wheel Seals in this era Dodge Ram SRW Full Float Rear Axles. As the two Seals are interchangeable, this is not a big issue, but you should know the facts. Dodge parts books list QU40450 Flangeless Seal as the replacement Seal for all 1994-1996 Dana 60, 70, 80 SRW axles and QU40449 Flanged Seal as the replacement seal for all 1997-2002 axles. Dana however, lists all 1994-2002 Dana 60 axles using QU40449 Flanged Seal. Dana catalogs QU40450 Flangeless Seal for all 1994-2002 Dana 70, 80 SRW axles EXCEPT the following 1996-1999 axles having Axle Tag Numbers which were built with QU40449 Flanged Seal:
Dana 70: 605879, 605880, 605901, 605981, 606012, 606013, 606055, 606063, 606094, 606095, 606148, 606149, 606164, 606165.
Dana 80: 606905, 605985, 606056, 606064, 606150, 606151
So Take your choice:
Order TK8359 Kit if you prefer QU40449 Flanged Seal (Kit will also include QT1503 Wheel Seal Installer)
Order TK8308 Kit if you prefer QU40450 Flangeless Seal (Kit will also include QT1510 Wheel Seal Installer)
