If the diffs, trannys and t-cases are the same it should. I don't see why it wouldn't. HTH!! Laters!!

Just make sure that the splines for the output shaft and yoke splines are the same (mainly same t-case) when you get the driveshaft. Also check size of rear u-joint(different rear axle) Most are the same until new case designs in newer models (late 90's) Hope that helps... PS, there was a different dana axle used by chrysler but you may still have most of the A.M. parts on the 90

Spline count was the same until 91 so you are still good to go.
