Greetings,
My 2013 Ram 6.7 CC LB 4x4 has a bent differential housing, 14 bolt diff cover, 11.5" ring gear, 3:42 ratio, anti spin (salvage title truck)
I'm having a tough time finding a 2013 differential assembly :-( (Reno Nevada)
Can I use a diff assembly from a 2014 Ram 3500 as they also have leaf springs and a 3:42 gear ratio, or from a 2012 3500 maybe?(still tough to find)
2014 and up is easier to find, but the 2013 is like looking for Hens teeth :-(
The reason I need to replace it is two fold, one it's eating driver side rear tires at $300 a pop, and it just started leaking at the hub seal and the hub won't come off due to the bent spindle.
Thanks for your time and efforts,
Jon

Have the same issue: my truck was in an accident before I bought it, dealership said it was repaired but it actually wasn't (low life losers.. stupid me for taking their word for it). My truck has no symptoms I only figured this out when I had my alignment checked. That said, my drivers side seal is leaking now so I may need to replace it anyways. At the moment I'm looking for a replacement assembly. Not a ton of luck so far. Wondering if you got anywhere with this? Anyone else wanna weigh in?

I would check to see if everything has cross over/matching parts for a 2014 rear axle to a 2013....sensor maybe different. The spring perches should be the same.
