Dodge ram 2500 rear and
I have a 97 dodge ram 2500 5.9v8. My rear end went out and it is extremely hard to find one around the Savannah, Ga area. My gears are 4:10. Is it possible to swap with another treat end or one that ...

Nick,
Why would BOTH ends need to be swapped out? Assuming the rear to rear replacement was done, and the original 4.10 gears were used in both. There is no need to replace the front end too. Also one can as noted, rebuild the rear, unless the actual housing is broken etc too.
Now if he switched to a different ratio in the rear, then yes, you need to swap out the front. My son is in the process of doing this with his 05 K1500, going from an 8.5" rear diff with 3.42's to 4.10's. He's getting a 14bolt 9.5" RA with 4.10s, along with the front from the same truck.

My post was solely based upon the OP’s facts as he stated them: He wants to swap out the rear end, and he can’t find another 4.10.
