1987 Dodge Dakota Rear

There are 7.25 dakota rear ends, they also have 10 bolt covers. When you look at them, the axle tubes will narrow down before they go into the cast center area. My friend had two 4cyl dakotas, one 88 and one 94 and they both had these 7.25's, same as the diplomats. He blew one up and then we swapped in an 8.25.

All 7.25's are junk...when we blew one all to pieces with a 95hp (on a good day) 2.5L, you just plain don't want one. The 8.25 is a decent piece though.
