Could be 3.55, 3.73 or 4.10 but you have to check each truck to be sure. There is a tag on the drivers side door jamb which should tell you - you may have to do a search of this forum to find out how to decode the tag.

Dana 60's are great - but most of us can't afford them. It depends on how hard you are going to drive the truck and what it will be used for. The Dana 44 IFS in it now is a good axle for standard 1/2 and 3/4 ton applications. I don't like the independant 44 for alignment reasons - some have converted to the straight Dana 44 and most seem to be very happy with the swap.
