8.25 Rebuild

[dachiefs]

Hey All,

I have a 8.25 Rear end in my Duster...I have a 27 spline sure grip unit for a 8.25...I also have a set of 3.55 gears...my question is...what do I need when I do the swap? New seals, shims, etc. Could anyone put a quick list together? Thanks in advance.

When I built my 8.25 I got new axle seals, fresh plain oil, bottle of Mopar additive, and new cover gasket. I already had the 3.55 gears, so I didn't need to change out the pinion shaft, just put the old ring gear on the new carrier.

You can buy various rebuild kits for the 8.25, depending on the level of rebuild. You will need a tool to adjust the carrier bearing adjusters and a dial indicator to measure backlash. You will also need some yellow paste to check the gear mesh.
