Have looked through the internet and searched the forum have not gotten a deffinative answer... How do you differentiate the Dana 35 and Chrysler 8.25 does anybody have any pictures from the rear of both? I have heard that the axle tubes may be bigger? Also the bottom of the pumpkin is somewhat flat? Thanks guys

The 8.25 will have a flat bottom, the D35 is oval all around.

Google image search each one individually. Open two tabs, image search Chrysler 8.25 with one, and image search D35 in the other.

You'll see the difference.

The 8.25 will be flat looking on the top and bottom (__) if that make sense. The 35 will be round "o". Put up a picture.
