I'm not an expert either, but that definitely appears less than ideal...

Too much is never enough!
Ideally it would be more ideal...that is my non-expert opinion.

Axle is done, along with bearing.
is it really just that one bearing on the rear? can I just pull off what's left of the old one and press the new one on? Or does that whole end of the axle tube come out? It looks like there are threads on part of it. I've never had one broke down before so I'm at a loss here.

No idea, dex dyno was the last time i was hard on it, and even that was unloaded. All its been doing since is hauling tornado debris.

There must be 2 bearings. Did you open the nut or just all fell off.
For me it looks the threaded part from axle tube is missing .....

So looks like I'll need an
outer bearing:
NAPA AUTO PARTS
Bearing cup:
NAPA AUTO PARTS
Or possible this?
NAPA AUTO PARTS
axle seal:
NAPA AUTO PARTS
And of course an axle. I have no clue where to pick one up around here.
Also, Say I get the new bearing on, what keeps that outer hub attached?

On edit, went and shook out the out hub, and the phucking nut fell out! I was wondering where it had went LOL
So I'll need the outer and inner bearing assemblies, a seal, an axle, and I think I'll be ok.
Looks like somehow the damn nut backed off, and allowed everything to go haywire. I'm just trying to figure out how it made i through over 2 years of beatings, and then gives out when it's in it's "retired" tow truck status.

There should have been a little keeper on axle holding that nut. They are inexpensive at the dodge house.

do you have a picture? I'm not sure what you are talking about.

So seeing how it all came apart, I still don't see what holds the hub and bolted on axle onto the tube, besides the rotor/caliper. Or does the nut hold against the outer bearing thats pressed into the hub?
Sorry if I appear stupid with this, but it's because I am.

I'm thinking about it. Won't be today though, already sweating myself into a headache.

Call Inland Truck Parts north of the airport in OKC. You might get better junk than you will at NAPA. I bought all new rear bearings and seals from them for the 02. Prices might be better as well.

They'll have axles, bearing, seals, and can do driveline shortening, balancing, etc etc etc.
I feel your pain, brotha.

Thank you Jory, I'll call them first. I need to find a used axle first though. Doubt i can afford new.
I dug out my service manual and found out with that wedge/keeper should look like. That did not come out with the rest of the crap.
so I think what happened is that wedge fell out, the nut backed off, the bearings went to chit, the hub got chitty and the axle broke.
