Steve, I did a swap on my old '92 Dak 4x4. It was pretty straight forward.
Not hard at all. The main problem is that you need a special tool to adjust
the play. It goes down the axle tube and has a large hex head that fits
into the adjusters. If you know any one at a local Dodge dealer, you might
be able to borrow it. You can also do it with an offset screwdriver, from
the open back of the axle. But this takes a while, and can be a bit of a
pain. But, It'll work just fine. Hope this helps.
