AAM Announces New Components for the 2014 RAM 9.25" Front Beam Axle
Posted: July 12, 2016
American Axle & Manufacturing (AAM) announced new components for the 2014 and newer model year RAM 9.25" front beam axle. Many of the major component parts were changed.
New gear sets include:
- D925342GS-1
- D925373GS-2
- D925410GS-2
- DPW925410GS
The part numbering system for these gears is new. The letter "D" indicates this is for a Dodge. The 925 in the number means it is for a 9.25" ring gear size axle. The next three numbers indicates the ratio. The "GS" means this is a gear set containing only the ring and pinion gear. The -1 or -2 suffix designates the model year version of the application compared to previous size and ratios.
The ring and pinion gears are new for the 2014 and newer models but still use the current pinion nut, seal and spacer as previous years.
