Dodge stuff is cheap where I live, everyone down here drives Chevys. The
motor looks to be around $500 for one with 18000 miles. Any Dodge rear is
cheap, like less than $100 for one off a newer Ram!! The MP driveshaft is
$200, then $80 to be resized at a local diesel truck place, I think. I am
not sure how much a R/T shaft is new, though. As far as the rear is
concerned, I'm not sure which one I would put under there, but it shouldn't
cost that much.
