I've searched regarding this, but cant come up with some definitive answers.
I have a 2018 Ram 2500 6.4 with the 9.25" front and 11.5" rear AAM axles. I ordered the trucks with 4.10 gears, as I knew i would put larger tires on.
I have a front axle assembly out of a 2018 Ram 2500 Power Wagon. My intent is to install the center section into my truck, and re-use my ring gear onto the Power Wagon carrier. I've read some conflicting reports of using a spacer behind the ring gear, and having to grind the adjuster lock.
I believe my differential housing, to be the same as the Power Wagon, aside from the Articulink setup on the radius arms. Since my factory gear ratio is the same as what comes in the Power Wagon, would I require this spacer?
I've asked my local differential shops, and they don't know.
I'm a mechanic by trade, and have done many differential repairs so this is nothing new to me. I would just like to have all necessary parts available when I do this swap.
