2 different axle splines?
 

the passenger side has big splines and the drivers side has small splines... i no the 1500's have this but i didnt no the 2500s did... it really scared me when i took it apart lol got passenger side put back together and the drivers side taken apart... whew such a long process, gonna take the cover off the front while i have the tie rod dropped to check it out. then change the starter and ill be back on the road.

thats to funny bud. the spall splines are the ones that go into the spider gears in the diff and the big splines are were the center axle disconect is located for the 4x4

yup

Small splines at the carrier for both the driver and passenger side but the CAD coupler uses larger splines.

lol y didnt any1 say something when i asked about pullin it apart?!?!?! lol its cool it was just a quick scare... btw got it all back together and the starter on so i took it for a little drive earlier, its soooooooooo nice to drive something w/ a little more power than my 93 ranger w/ a 2.3l 5speed lol

I hope you were careful putting the axels back in. I tapped one of the seals and now i have a nice leak! gotta take it all apart again and replace the seal!!! I hate seals:moon:

oh ya you have to watch them seals, i smashe my driver side one installing everything and had to do it all over again:argh:
