Default it never fails...
It never fails when something good happens something twice as bad will happen. It started the day great with a guy showing up and buying my 1650 without trying to talk me down. So, I hopped in the truck and drove a couple town over to pick up the bushings I ordered for the O all was well until on my way home running 65 the rear-end on my truck just locked up solid. Thankfully somebody was watching and there was no oncoming traffic and none behind me I was able to keep it on the road but the rear-end and tires are toasted... like I said it never fails. On the plus side I got the new bushings for the O ready to go in

its a 99 ram 4x4 half ton, im definatly not going to rebuild it, its alot cheaper and easier to just swap it out. im hoping i can find a 1 ton to swap the axles out of into it. but worse comes to worse ill just use a stocker but i do need one with a strong limited slip as this one wasnt to much shy of a full on locker which has came in handy more then once, i think the pinion bearing froze up and with the speed it just got hot till it welded itself, ill know more once i find a new axle and get this one out to tear into

Cubby, again, YIKES!!!

I agree with your synopsis given the model of truck.. Finding a complete donor rear is gonna be WAY cheaper and easier than rebuilding what you have.

That said, I've got to think 1 ton axles are in high demand and probably an overkill (massive) for your 1/2 ton suspension.

I know you weren't soliciting opinions when you posted this tread, but I would personally just try to get it back to stock and running right. In my experience, rear ends out of the bone yard are $175-300..... If $300 has you up and running again with the correct ratio, I say do it! If you want a more aggressive limited slip, consider tossing a Richmond Powertrax in the carrier (very, VERY easy installation and no gear setup required). I have a Powertrax in my (please hold your laughter down as I don't want you to disturb your neighbors) '83 AMC Eagle Wagon and it's a monster when you want to haul the mail. When just driving around it's as tame as a new born kitten. It only has a slight "click-click" sound when cornering. If you want to to pull, it's as good as spool.

All that said, WOW and YIKES again!!! The D35 in my TJ has been noisy for the last 20,000 miles and I have a brand new (from Dana... For $25... LUCKY!!) D35 to swap in to it.. I'm thinking that it's time to get that done!!!

i dont plan to just swap the axles only, the suspension is more then likely getting upgraded also, in what i actualy haul with the truck i need at least a 3/4 ton setup for sure and i also plan to lift and offroad it later on when i find another truck so might as well do all the mods now while its needed. my plan is to try and find a wrecked donor truck and just get rid of the leftovers after i am done. the truck isnt 100% needed at this time anyway and wont be for a few months so my datsun pickup will do just find for haulin the 80 to mow. and no laughter at the amc...i want one of those so bad i cant see straight.

Well... If that's your plan I have a buddy that (tragically) just had is 3/4 ton Dodge CUMMINS totaled (front end collision, mostly sheet metal damage). I believe he is in CO ("Internet buddy"... Saiga-12 forum). If you could arrange transport, that would be an awesome way for you to step up all at once!

I have another buddy (in town, in the real world) that has a '96 1 Ton Ram with the Cummins 6BT, 12v, and it is an absolute monster. I've never seen a light duty truck pull like that thing does... Short of jumping into an $80,000 medium duty truck, the Cummins Dodge is as good as it gets for this guy.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
