2004 dodge ram 2500 axle nut size?

[signcrafter]

Have to do u joints on a 2004 dodge ram 2500 and trying to make sure I have a socket for the axle nut. Have up to 36 mm but all my 3/4" drive stuff is in storage. while googling I saw a video by Eric O that says it's 1 11/16". Just trying to make sure I have the socket I need here if someone knows the size for sure. Thanks

I just did the axle nut on a 3500 and used a 1 3/4" to take it off

Many sets don't have a 1 11/16"

1 11/16" is the right socket. I had to go buy that socket.

its 43mm as I recall when converting to locking hubs. Napa has them under a Dodge hub name.

I can only speak to '94-01/2 1500 D44s and they're 1-11/16"

You can get a Sunex off Amazon very reasonably.

As mentioned 43mm can get you there, too, and I've done that before

OTC #6006 was designed specifically for Dodge truck axles, and OTC makes the OE Miller tools for Chrysler. About $35 on Amazon. 1-11/16 (43mm) sizing

OEMTools, Titan, and Performance Tool all make cheaper versions of this socket, and market them as Dodge spindle nut sockets. About half the price, but probably not OTC quality, either....
