Torque King® Master Rear Wheel Bearing and Seal Kits for your Dodge feature premium Timken® bearings and National®  wheel seals because when it comes to rear wheel bearings and seals, only the best will do to safely support the heavy loads your truck hauls.  To help you install these vital components properly, Torque King® Master Kits include spindle nut sockets, bearing drivers, and seal installers.  Why use makeshift installation methods that can damage precision surfaces when  tools are available to do the job right the first time?  All Kits also include axle flange gaskets, and Theadlocker.   Replacement of single-use,  factory spindle nuts is absolutely recommended, you may order kits without Spindle Nuts, with factory single Spindle Nuts or upgrade to our Torque King® Double Nut and Special Socket Set.  See Spindle Nut Sections above for descriptions of spindle nut choices.  If available, please provide the 7 or 8 digit axle tag number (ex: 605508-3).  With this number we can usually verify the exact parts you require. The metal axle tag is normally attached to the axle by two of the differential cover bolts.  Tools Made in U.S.A.  Bearings and seals usually U.S.A. made, but may be imported.

QK4606 Dana 60/70 Diff Bearing Kit w/shims

Dan the Gear Man® Service TipDifferential bearing failures are very common on trucks with Cummins Diesel engines.  I recommend a complete rebearing job on these axles every 125,000 miles to prevent catastrophic failures.  This is especially important with the Model 70.  If cost is a major factor, you should at a minimum, replace the differential bearings and shims.

  Pinion Seal Kits include new pinion seal, pinion nut, pinion washer, and Threadlocker.

cast axle number
Many Dana Axle have the model number cast somewhere on the cast iron differential housing. (Number is shown at near actual size)


Dana Axle ID Tag
Most late 1970's and later Dana Axles have a Build Tag (red arrow) attached to the differential by  two of the differential cover bolts (yellow arrows). 
Earlier axles had the build code stamped on the right axle tube.  These stamped numbers are very hard to find on most axles.

Dana 70 axle Cover
Not all Dana axles have the model number cast on the housing. It can be very difficult to tell a Dana 60 from a Dana 70 as they have nearly identical cover with exactly the same bolt pattern.. One way to tell if you have a Dana 60 or Dana 70 is to measure the cover flange height (yellow arrow).  The Dana 60 flange height  is approximately 1" high.  The Dana 70 flange height is about 1¼" high.

WHAT MODEL REAR AXLE DO I HAVE IN MY DODGE?

Dodge used Dana rear axles on almost all 1960's and newer 3/4 and 1 Ton 4x4 trucks through the 2002 Model Year.

All Dana Axles have a Bill of Material Number that can be used to determine not only the axle model, but also what components the axle was originally built with.  For 2002 and earlier Dodge trucks, the  BOM Number is a 6 digit number that begins with a 6 plus a dash number (ex: 605523-3)  The BOM number may by stamped on the right axle tube (older axles) or stamped on a tag affixed to the differential cover.  We often ask for this number to insure we provide you with the exact parts you need for your truck.
 

1967-1988 From the mid 1960's to 1988 most 3/4 ton trucks had a Dana 60 unless they were Camper Special models which usually had a Dana 70 as did most 1 Ton 300 series trucks. 

1989-1993 All 250 and 350 trucks of this vintage with the Cummins Diesel had a Dana 70.  All 350 series trucks with dual rear wheels (DRW) also had a Dana 70 regardless of the engine.  For the most part, 250 series trucks with gas engines had a Dana 60 unless they were heavy GVW models.

1994-2002 Dodge used the Dana 60 on some light GVW gas trucks.  Most small V8 2500 models and most  Cummins powered 2500 series trucks with automatic transmissions used a Dana 70.  All Cummins trucks with manual transmissions and all 3500 series trucks used the Dana 80.
