do the following photos look like your typical Dana 44 setup with an ARB locker? Im needing to order the parts soon to have this thing rebuilt but all the local shops don't seem to recognize this setup. I tried to get part numbers in the pics too.
Does this look like a typical Dana 44 setup?

That does not look typical... I have never seen that style of threaded adjuster on a Dana axle.
But that is a 35 spline dana 44 carrier. I do not know what housing that is, I am assuming its aftermarket.

Ok that clears things up. Well you have an RD109 carrier so you will need whatever bearings support that differential. As for the gears, I am having trouble making out all the markings on the ring gear. I would assume it supports standard dana 44 tj gears.
Its either going to be TJ gear or JK gears. I am leaning towards TJ gears.
OP
I tried googling that and didn't come up with anything. The difference between gear sets is the size of the pinion(or spline count). Hopefully someone else is more familiar with the original G2 axles.

G2 can't even really tell me anything
I don't know much about g2 as I would never buy anything they sell, but they are currently just a 4wp house brand so I am sure they were bought out at some time.
is taking it apart an option? maybe you could still read the etching on the bearing cones. G2 doesn't sell replacement bearings or rebuild kits for their axles? yikes.
only gonna be a few bearings that fit the locker, you really just have to identify the OD of the cup to match.
work it backwards look up what bearing fits that ARB then see how many options come up. they would have used an existing bearing even if it's upgraded.really doubt they'd go through the expense of specialized bearings.

You would have to get in touch with someone who had been on the manufacturing side and was there from the beginning. I doubt you can get him on the phone.G2 can't even really tell me anything
I'm 99% sure that it will use the same cups that the standard Dana 44 uses. If someone can come up with an OD of the cup, I can measure the one I have and see if it will fit. Or, if I think about it, I can dig it out and measure the journal size.
OP
LM102949 / LM102910 are the part numbers g2 gave me for carrier bearings. But then told me to buy the 35-2033 ARB install kit.
OP
Well i had to call corporate to get this part list cause apparently it is "confidential" but here it is
OP
I also found out that this is the house g2 used for the older g2 "dana 44" axles. Its actually a bears 44 custom housing which also explains why the adjusters are in there.
OP
I had to call corporate to get straight answers outta them. As I posted above they keep all the "need to know" information away from the common tech people. It turns out tho that all the older g2 dana 44s were really bears 44 custom housings. Which explains the side adjusters in the housing. To me its all kinda bull ****.
