Gear Ratios in dodge 60s

[Danswift79]

Hey guys' I got a question for ya, What gear ratios come in d60s in the front of One ton dodges. I found one and now my rear diff is giving me probs so I'm thinkin time for a swap. Only prob is I need to know what kind of gear ratios are available. Are they the same as GMs and also, would it be possible to match a ratio from a 14-bolt to the dodge.? Thanx for any info. I know about the spring plate distances being different.

Most probably came with 4.10s. The dodge dana 60s and GM dana 60s used the same gears. I would say put at least 4.56s in it.

you have to be care full on 89-93 you could have gotten 3.07-3.54-or 4.10 the one you have to be care full of is the 3.07 causeit could be a dana61 (which means no gear change ops) just be aware on dana 60's most had a 60 casted into one of the case webs 61's had no marking of 61 at all

The 3.07s would have come in trucks with the Cummins and the 3 spd 727 auto trans. All the ones I know of are the early ones, like '89-90s.

I could be wrong, but I think 3.07's would only be in 2wd trucks - making 3.07's in a front D60 a moot point.

No, they were available in the early Cummins 4x4 trucks. The motors were governed at 2500 (or less), and with no overdrive in the 3 spd autos they had to put 3.07s in them to get any kind of road speed out of them.

Thanx for the warnings guys, I guess I am going to just have to get a container to hold the gear lube and check the gear ratio. Any way to tell between a 60 and a 61?
