How many years did Mopar make 3.23 gears for the 9 1/4" axle before they went to 3.21?

Nice to see someone using a 9 1/4 (if that's what this is). I always liked that one


Looking for 1975 through 1978 B body 4 door sedan sheet metal or parts cars - monaco, fury, coronet. Please let me know

My eyesight has really gone down hill in the last two years, but I think it reads 3.23. You tell me.





So, back to my question how many years did Mopar label the 9 1/4" 3.23 before they started calling them 3.21?

The ring gear should have a date stamp on it.. Thats a newer axle with the tone ring for the ABS brakes... Has to be early 90s or newer..


I am truckless..

The second picture shows 4-14-73. Yes, the axle is in my son's 2000 Dakota R/T. We pulled the ring and pinion out of a 74 Imperial Lebaron 9 1/4.

Thanks! That's the kind of information I was looking for. I know it's trivial, but I'm curious as to how long they labeled it one thing and called it something else.
