Anyone know where I can get a replacement stub shaft and castellated nut for a 2001 Ram 1500 4x4 with a Dana 60 front axle? I had to heat the original to get it apart and want to replace it with something that still has the temper in the metal. The OEM part numbers are:
Stub Shaft 05015138AA
Axle Hub Nut 04746773

 

Dodge dealer probably your best bet. Expensive but best....

 

did you or someone else swap in the D60 into that 1500? You must have 8 lugs then huh?

have you tried aftermarket companies like Warn or Dutchman or Moser?

 

It's weird, I've got only 5 lugs on the wheels but all the books I have say it's a Dana 60 in there. Am I missing something?

 

Yeah because I don't think Dodge would ever install a 1 ton front end into a 1/2 ton truck. I'm sure that is more a long the lines of a D44 or whatever Dodge decided to install in the front end of the Ram trucks.

 

Do you know how to decode the numbers stamped into the axle? that ought to tell me for sure.

 

Post them up. I use to be able to by looking at them. If I can't I know there are plenty of others that can.

 

I don't know if this is already resolved. If not yet, you might want to send me a photo of the axle assembly and I gladly help you with the part number.

 

Dana 60s were what came up front for the dodge trucks, i have a 3/4 ton with dana 60 in the front. Dana 80 is the 1 ton axle. Just thought you might want to know.

 

That is not entirely true. Dana 60, dana 70 and dana 80 are all 1 ton axles. what you have for axles in a 3/4 ton truck all depends on what youhave for a motor. All of the gas V8 3/4 ton truck that I have seen and read about had a D44 or 8.25 front axle with a D60 rear axle. All the diesel 3/4 ton trucks had D60 ball joint front axles and D70 rear axles. At anytime though, someone could have swapped them out. This being a 1/2 ton truck, I would say that he has a D44 or 8.25 front axle and a 9.25 rear axle.
