I know this topic has been beat to death but think I have a slightly different variation on the question.
I have a 2011 Dakota that of course has drum brakes. It has the 9.25 axle which from what I recall is a different width than the 1998-2004 models. I'm getting sick and damn tired of them vibrating. I can turn the drums and it comes back in a month or two. Replace the drums and it comes back in a month or two. Dealer has done quite a bit of work on the rear under warranty also and the issue always comes back. I want to try something different.
What I'm wondering are the axle ends the same on the 2003/2004 disc brake Dakota as the current gen? I'd like to just find a junkyard axle and steal the hardware.
I know those were six lug trucks and that was issue number two. I could either redrill the rotors or ponder stealing the rear disc setup off a Ram 1500 instead.
