My 01' has seen 290 RWHP and 384 RWTQ with the stock 8 1/4 Axle......
I've only switched to Mobil-1 synthetic gear lube and I've had no issues
either.

I've hit 381rwtq and 289rwhp without any problems (from the old Blower/NOS
V6). HOWEVER, I'm running the aftermarket DANA H/D unit...not the factory
Mopar unit.
Funny thing is, the 9 1/4" has been discontinued due to problems - and
replaced with the 8 1/4" (go figure). ;)

Does anyone know what kind of horsepower/torque the 8 1/4 rear ends can
withstand reliably?
