dana 44

I’ve brought 4.56 gears with a thick cut rear for my Dana 44 in my TJ, the dif shop I’m getting them installed at has told me that I need a new carrier to install the numerically higher gear but I was under the impression thick cut gears could be installed in the standard lsd carrier, is this...

Ordered a Dana 44 axle from RockAuto. came with a Timken set10 bearing and a 9912 seal. If someone wants to pay for shipping, I could send them your way. Shoot me a DM if interested. Not sure what the thread rules are here. If I should post this somewhere else, please let me know.

Hey guys! I bought my stock TJ, Sahara 4.0 with the 5 speed manual. Dana 30 LP front, Dana 44 rear. Since getting it, I've put a 3 inch lift on it, AntiRock bar, TruTrack rear locker and Spartan Helical LSD in the front. The Dana 30 has done well for me, but I was wanting to regear and get bigger tires...

Hi all, I have a High Pinion Dana 44 from a 1976 Ford F-150 under my 2001 TJ. I did the swap recently. It is currently leaking grey oil, and I can not for the life of my figure out where it’s coming from. I opened up the fill bolt to determine if water is getting into the diff to turn it grey...

Ben’s ‘06 TJR stock front Dana 44 with stock air locker and gearset. 166k miles ish. His road trip back to Norfolk started hearing a low noise that is now a low speed(15-30mph) then gets quieter due to higher speeds. Process of elimination noise is a rhythmic thud thud that is coming from the...

Hi, I’m new to the forum. I have had a 2005 TJ for about a year now. Just bought a salvage yard Dana 44 to replace the Dana 35 in my TJ. Bought it knowing the carrier and ring gear had been removed, which was not a problem since I was going to an aftermarket locker and different gearing. It...

Hello, looking for a differential carrier for dana 44 rear end. My old trac loc spider gears and clutch pack wore out. Would be interested in a good set of spider gears and clutches. Or any compatible complete carrier would do!

I have a Dana 44 rear axle I bought to put in my TJ about 5 years ago that I never got around to using. After having kids I just don't have time to offroad let alone take on another project. It has been sitting in my yard barn out of the weather since I purchased it. I was told it has 3.73...

I have a guy wanting to sell me a dana44 rear from an '05, a new set of Yukon 4.88s for 30/44, and an Eaton Detroit trutrac for the 44. 1600 and a 6 pack...is this a good deal? Should I pull the trigger? I was planning on doing a super35, as I don't do any aggressive offroading, mostly just...

Hello all! My name is Ross. I’m not a scammer. I bought a very nice TJ last year for my wife. I have to sell for personal reasons. 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4.0L Garage kept and covered. This TJ is in pristine shape! No dents or chips on the Stone White original paint. 36,000 original...

I am in the process of swapping my Dana 35 for a Dana 44 and have gotten control arms and trackbar connected and bolts tightened loosely when I just noticed something on this axle that I picked up. The shock brackets seem to be clearly aftermarket and installed incorrectly. Well, maybe not...

I have just started on the second half/rear end of my axle swap to remove the dreaded Dana 35 and replace it with a Dana 44. I have been inspecting just about everything because I plan on using parts from my old 35 and new 44 together. Anyways, I have removed both rear shafts and found that the...

If this has already been discussed and I've just failed to find the post I'd love a link. So, Dana 44 front axles are actually quite affordable in the US especially considering their rarity (im just looking at ebay as a reference) but shipping to the UAE where I live is kind of expensive, at least...

Do you have to pull the axle shafts on a dana 44 rear end to replace the drum brake backing plate? If so, is it recommended to change the bearings/seal (if original)? I would prefer to not have to do that if possible. Does that only need to be done if there is a seal leak / bearing issue? Thanks

Rear axle from ECGS, in a nutshell a JK Dana 44 as bolt in for TJ. 4.56 ratio, true track, 30 spline shaft, disk brakes. Roughly 25000 miles on it, all highway never saw dirt. Located near Baltimore, bring me your useless Dana 35 (functional) and we will swap it out for $2000. Or $2300 without...

After much searching my latest approach to my TJ high gear problems (3.07 gears w/33 tires) is to swap both front (Dana 30) & rear (Dana 35) for available Dana 44 with 4.10 gears from a Wagoneer. My thoughts are to clean up both axles (drain & inspect lube, inspect gear wear, replace axle...

Dear TJ Forum Members, I would like to ask for your collective (and individual) wisdom with a problem I have. In a sentence - a workshop took off diff from my Dana44 without marking bearing caps, and I am now trying to identify left and right one before installing ARB locker. I have read...

Heyo. So I have a 99 TJ sport with Dana 44 in rear. I opened up the rear diff to change fluid and found the ring and pinion had chipped teeth. Apparently I bought it that way. Anyways I’m re-gearing now and I just got the carrier out. It was very difficult to get out. Just realized there were no...

My 90 degree air locker hose fitting on the front differential is loose and leaking. What is the best way to replace the fitting with a new one? It seems like it is a press fit into the housing but what does the barb fit into inside the housing? Can the fitting be pulled/pried out and a new...
