Vehicles I've owned with the 7.25 are listed below.
My experience is with the '87 Diplomat with 318 and my '79
Aspen R/T with 318 and an '89 Dak with 3.9L.. No axle
problems ever... Now spiders and spools are a different
matter.. I've riped all 3 apart @ different times with what
I consider to be relatively low mileage. The '79 Aspen R/T
came apart @ less than 50K miles. The '87 diplomat came
apart @ just over 50K miles. The '89 Dak with the 3.9L(and
a very weak 3.9L in my opinion) came apart @ just under
40K miles. None of the above vehicles were severly
mistreated.. My opinion of the 7.25 rear is that it wouldn't
hold up in a good lawnmower. Should have never been put
in a road worthy vehicle. The axles are the same size as
those in the 8.25 I believe. May be wrong. IMO the
axles are much stronger than the center section.
