Dan the Gear Man® Tech Notes: 1994-2002
Old Seals Tech Help Removal Offset Tool Set Inspect Matching Parts
Tech Note 1: 1994-2002Dodge used the Ball Joint type Dana 60 front axle in Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks from 1994 to 2002. All early 2002 and prior axles are equipped with CAD. During the 2002 model year, there was a mid-year model change to a no disconnect, constantly engaged front axle. QK4803 ONLY works on 2000- 2002.5 CAD axles, it can not be used in late 2002 non-CAD axles as right seal is different. If you have a late 2002 axle without CAD, see QK4802 Kit.
Tech Note 2: Old SealsOnce the axle is disassembled, the old seals can be easily removed with our QT1145 and QT1216 Seal Remover Tools or other suitable tool such as a length of sturdy pipe that will fit inside the axle tube. You will also need to clean the inside of the axle tube to remove dirt and crud that could get pushed into your new seal during reassembly.
Tech Note 3: Tech HelpNeed tech help on how to perform inner axle seal replacement on your 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 or Ram 3500? Get my TSB4620 Inner Axle Seal Replacement Tech Service Bulletin, a fully illustrated, 8 page publication with 31 color photos that is specific to 1994-1999 models but is equally applicable to 2000-2002 model service procedures except for the seal tool numbers and brake rotor removal (2000-2002 brake rotors are not part of the hub assembly). Available in print version only.
Tech Note 4: RemovalTo replace the inner axle seals on your axle, you need to remove the brake rotors, wheel hubs, axle shafts, and CAD shift housing plus to replace the left seal the differential cover and differential need to be removed from the axle. The inner axle seals can ONLY be replaced from the inside.
Tech Note 5: OffsetUpon removal, check you axle shafts for damage in the seal contact area. If your axle shafts are badly grooved or rust pitted you will need to replace your axle shaft to prevent oil seeps or leaks. Less severe damage can be cleaned up with super-fine abrasive cloth and you can slightly offset the seal with our adjustable depth tool design so the seal lip will contact an undamaged surface. To offset the seal, you first temporarily place the seal installer in your old seal before you knock it out. Mark the depth of our tool in your housing. Remove the tool and old seals. When you install the new seal(s), offset it from the original depth by pressing it in more or less than the original seal depth as indicated by your depth mark.
Tech Note 6: Tool SetAlready have the Seals? See TS4803 for the Tool Only Set.
Tech Note 7: InspectWhen replacing your inner axle seals, ALWAYS inspect your Ball Joints, Axle Universal Joints, Differential Bearings, and Wheel Bearings/Hubs for wear or damage. The extra time needed to replace these components is minimal since you already have the axle apart to do the axle seals.
