rear end swap
I want to swap the rear end on my truck (99 dodge 2500 2wd 360 v-8) for one with 4.11 gears. Does anyone know of a cross reference that I can use to find what other vehicles have the same rear end as...

First of all, if your doing this to give you more pulling power, you'll be disappointed.
I went from 373 to 456 gears and only increased my speed up the same 6% grade towing the same 5th wheel by 10 MPH. I would have rather spent the $1300 on fuel.
Plus when my truck wasn't towing it got worse gas mileage unless I stayed at 55MPH. It went from 10MPG to 8MPG empty with the new gears if I tried to stay with the flow of traffic.
