Jon, I know you have had your problems with that 8.25" rear, but from what I
understand the F body GM cars that produce over 300 hp use a 7.25" ring gear
and I know personally a friend who runs 10's in his 98 bird (500+hp) with a
7.25" rear with no breakage. I'm just wondering what the weak spot is in
the 8.25" DC rear??? Is the pinion diameter small, or just the materials
poor?? I wonder how those GM guys are making that 7.25" last??? What
do you think?

Subject: DML: Re: Gen III Durango axle to a Gen II Dakota
already considered that route... after talking with several ppl I decided
it'd be too difficult a swap, there is rumor that a 8 3/4" from a B body
bolts in w/o any shortening, just relocate the spring mounts...
keep us informed, I'm sick of the 8.25"
