Taking the axles out from under the Dodge one ton and installing Ford's (I think is a better idea)
Dodge axles use a vacuum poc to pull the 4WD in. It will always, and always, fail when it is needed the most!!
It about 3 Grand conversion dependent on what kit one gets sucked into buying, to fix this, for a one ton.
That's the EZ way.
SOOOooo I decided to change the gear ratio too from 4.10 to about 3.50
I bought two Ford axles with 3.55 gearing.
This takes care of the ratio problem and hub problem all in one horseshoe throw! As Ford uses regular turn-in hubs!
As of right now, I do not know why everyone else does not do it this way.??
Maybe I am missing something?
Would not be the first time.
Yes, drive shafts may need adjusting, but with 270 long, hard towing miles, that's OK.
It will be odds and ends for sure. (stuff that my wheelhouse is full up with )
