so i'm curious who has known about this... apparently, Dodge made use of the Ford 9" axles in some of their vehicles. As far as I can tell, everything of the axle is Ford, EXCEPT for the yoke.
I worked with a buddy to get a U-joint to go from my 99 ranger drive shaft to the yoke... and i kept measuring the cap diameter... 1 1/8".
There was not a single ford u-joint with that size.. joking he mentioned "where'd you get this... outta a dodge?" and the guy next to him mentioned that some dodge vehicles had 9" axles.
sure enough... found that a dodge u-joint fit perfectly... and readily available in most parts stores is a u-joint for a dodge to ford size caps for a 99 ranger, because they must do some wierd stuff that those u-joints are used normally in vehicles.
anyway... just thought i would pass along the info, since nothing anywhere did i ever see in the tech library that a 9" could be found in a dodge vehicle. i had no clue where it came from, just picked it up from a guy on this forum years ago and finally made use of it.
