Ramcharger D44 question - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Jamus2 · 10-03-2002, 01:36 PM

I was wondering if you Dodge gurus could give me an aproximation of the year Ramcharger I got my knuckles and hubs from. It was a hardtop, non-removable, Ramcharger. It was fulltime, had drive flanges. It also had a 2-piece driver's side axle shaft. I guess that's a CAD system. The reason I'm asking is because I've heard that some Dodges with drive flanges cannot be changed over to lockout hubs. Thanks for any help.

That would be an 85 or newer you got your stuff from.. It is not a full time 4X4 It is part time with as you guessed CAD(central axle disconnect.. It is the 74 to 79 Ramcharger that cannot be converted to hubs.. They are easily Identified by the big nut where the hubs would normaly be.

The knuckles from the cad axle will fit on the 79 housing so you could convert to lockout hubs with not much trouble just make sure that the bolt pattern is the same
