I blew out the rear end towing and want to go with a 1 ton. Which axle swaps on the easiest?

So you have a diesel half ton?

No, 5.9 is also the 360 gasser just so you know.

I'd say look for 1 ton front and rear outta the same kinda truck 94-02.

I've never heard anyone call a 360 a 5.9L, I usually think of Cummins when I think of 5.9L...

Ever heard anyone call a 318 a 5.2L...?

since the 3/4 ton has d60 front and rear would that be the most logical swap, or are they different on the 1 ton dodges?

I think the 3/4 and 1 tons used either a d70 or a d80 in the rear depending on the transmission option iicr. The fronts were the same. Correct me if I'm wrong though, I'm not the most familiar with the dodges.
