dodge cummins axles?

i belive that 03 would be AAM axles either a 10.5 or 11.5 rear and a 9.25 front
yep my buddy has a '03 2500 and its got AAM axles
I'm pretty sure the available ratios would have been 3.73 & 4.10. By 03 I think 3.54's were gone. Fwiw, my 06 6spd was only available with 3.73's.

mmm,not good old Dana?..or are they dana's? i actually never heard of them now,..their site is pretty cool though...maybe they make dana?
Nope, Chrysler is slowly edging out of doing business with Dana.
AAM Co used to be GM's axle division but was separated off sometime in the 90's I beleive. They've been making GM's axles forever.

AAM is also making the axles for GM's HD line. The 11.5" rear under a Dodge Cummins is nearly the same axle that is in a Duramaxipad GM truck.
I too was a little bummed to see Dana dissapear, mainly due because the 3.54's were gone and AAM offered 3.73's as their tallest ratio.
Strength wise, the good 'ol D60/70/80 Combo is about the same strength as the new AAM stuff.

i was kind of happy knowing when he got it, i could at least no the axles and help him out...no more Dana...now we're both going to be learning
I think there is a ratio higher than 3.73 actually...just for kicks I was building a Ram 2500 on Dodge's site a while back and I noticed you were kinda forced into a 3.xx ratio if you chose the stick...even with a PowerWagon.

damn...that kinda sucks, but im guessing u can put in taller ratios yourself, right?
Yep, provided you know how to set gears. Irregardless it can be changed. Just kinda sucks.
