Find a used 9 1/4 rear from a R/T with the 3.90 gears. I did this swap in my DD 2000 3.9 V6, only need to remove the flange style mount to the rear and replace it with a combo cap size u-joint. If you are lucky grab the sway bar with it. You will also need the bigger u-bolts and plates. Last edited by WeeWillie; 06/09/13 09:38 AM.

Also got some new exhaust to rplace the cobbled almost welded stuff that was on there plus a dana track lock rear with 3.55s. 7767591-1998Dakota001.JPG (28 downloads)
