Manual Hubs
First things first, this site has got too be the best when it comes for info on these trucks. So I thought this would be a perfect time to ask a question. I am looking for a conversion kit to put manual hubs on my 02 3/4 ton Ram. I thought I read somewhere in this forum about somebody making a kit. I have an 01 one ton, this has the sliding clutch disconnect. The 02 has no provision for it the whole front end w/drive shaft is spinning all the time. Thanks for your time, this site has helped me in the past with my 01.

Thats only if you have a first gen dodge. Fords have always had their diffs on the driverside, and dodge and gm picked it up later. Lance D swapped in a complete Ford D60, and he broke even by selling his old parts.

did lance post anything explaining the changeout.
using a complete axle makes the most sense of all the options. but mine is a second gen 96. what axle if any are available for this conversion?
maybe... I'm better off going with a EMS kit

Lance has a page showing how he put his in a second gen. After seeing what he went through, I decided it wasn't worth it and I already have a 79 high pinion Furd axle complete.
I don't know how I found Lances page though, perhaps I googled Dana 60 Ford Dodge conversion?

found it... http://www.pavementsucks.com/tech/dana60swap.php
it's not worth it... looks like EMS is the ticket. but still trying to verify mileage gains... if any
some say none... some say 3-4 mpg gains.... what gives?
