DETROIT, Oct. 16 /PRNewswire - FirstCall/ -- American Axle & Manufacturing (AAM), which is traded as AXL on the NYSE, today announced a new exclusive aftermarket 3.42 PowerDense® gear set for 2003 to 2007 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty 2500/3500 turbo diesel pickups. The gear set and its technology will be showcased at the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX), October 31 through November 2.

AAM Aftermarket now offers Dodge Ram diesel pickup owners the 3.42 ratio gear set as an alternative to the numerically higher ratio gear sets that are currently available.
