dana 44

Hello all, New to the forum, new to TJ's, made the switch from a long-term relationship with XJ's and finally decided it was time. I found this jeep and immediately called on it and ended up bringing it home. So a few things that I have to deal with are: Tcase drop and no SYE Dana 30 LP...

Why the heck are Dana 44's so much cheaper (Rubicon or not) off of JK's?! Been looking for some Dana 44's for a bit now, had a lot of bad luck (couple people kinda screwed me, others someone else just barely beat me to the punch) but I'm constantly seeing JK 44's posted and for 1/3-1/2 the price of...

Powertrax No-Slip Traction Systems Lunchbox locker for Dana 44 w/ traclok carrier I just pulled this from the rear axle to install a selectable. It is a low mileage unit in great shape. Edges are clean with no noticeable wear. See pictures for condition. Carrier available but no longer...

A to Z fab Dana 44 bombproof diff cover for sale. Retails new on their site for $120. Selling for $50 plus shipping.

Just bought this Jeep today, wanted to see if I could find the previous owner. It looks like it needs a new rear axle or just axle housing. I think it has a G2 Core 44 rear axle. Where's a good place to buy the axle or parts for it. This is my first Jeep,any info will be appreciated. Thanks

My dana35 rear diff, pinions, and bearings are all shot in my 98 sahara. To rebuild the axle the parts cost would be roughly 1400 not including labor. I don't think its worth it to put that much into the Dana 35, so I'm looking at swapping it for a Dana 44 or 8.8. What is my best option considering it...

Like the post says. What mods are required to fit a Dana 44 from an XJ into a TJ? Also what years are the best to start with?

Hello all! I sometimes browse Craigslist for any used Jeep parts I might be inclined to add to my TJ for "cool factor" :afro: Yesterday I found a rolled Rubi LJ with 96,000 at a wrecking yard. He still has both the Dana 44s and wants 4k for the set and said he would throw in the compressors for...

This axle is on a 2004 Columbia Edition, I'm new to Jeepdom and can't quite tell if this is a 44 or 35. I can pick this Jeep up for $10k. Here are the specs... 162k miles automatic Repainted 4-5 years ago. 3 tops - Hard, soft, bikini. New stereo. Barricade front bumper. Brand new never been...

Hey all, I changed the oil in my Dana 44 yesterday for the first time. The Jeep has 125,000 miles on it and not sure of the PO's upkeep on it. The oil had millions of sparkles in it. Didn't see any large pieces and I havent noticed anything strange while driving. On the inside of the cover I did...

The Dana 35 in my TJ is starting to wear out so I started to look into replacement options before it blows up. I did some research on the forums and had decided a Ford 8.8 from an Explorer would be a good swap. I figured 8.8's are easy to find, cheapish to buy and have tons of aftermarket support...

I'm surprised an article like this didn't already exist on the site, especially given the number of people who ask how to identify which axles they have on their Jeep Wrangler TJ. The goal here is to give future TJ owners and new TJ owners a guide on how to identify which axles they have under...

Hey guys, this is my first post. I am new to the forum. I recently picked up this Dana 44, and the seller was unsure what it came off of, i am not sure either. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks, Zach

anybody have thoughts on narrowing a front differential yourself versus paying a shop to do it? anybody do this themselves? anybody pay someone? what are your thoughts and experiences? im not staying stock width so if anyone has concerns with stock width dont worry. my current thought is to take...

Looking at a used Dana 44 to swap into my 1998 TJ. The 44 is from a 2004 and was equipped with disc brakes. However it doesn't look like any of the brake parts come with the axle. My question is will the drum brakes from my current Dana 35C fit on the disc brake 44. I have found info that...

hey guys i have an eclectic pile of parts and need to assemble a 8 lug ford hp44 for the front of my jeep. i have a full 5x5.5 hp 44 as well as a dodge 8 lug 44. I was told by a local offroad shop that the dodge knuckles on the ford inner-c would result in positive camber, can anyone confirm...

Like the title says. Any theories? It would be exceptional if legitimate proof was provided. Ex being; engineers write up or something similar. But theories are welcome. A lot on here about how the TJ 44 isn't worth the swap (expense:strength return) which I agree with considering only gen 1's...

The factory Dana 35 rear axle found in most TJ Wranglers is a little on the light side, and if you run larger-than-stock tires, you’re likely looking at an eventual failure. If you want to turn really big tires, wheel abusively, or push gobs of power into your rear axle, you’ll probably want to...

hey guys i have a couple spare axles laying around and thought someone else may be able to use them. i just want to get rid of them now so i'll let them go for $120 a piece preferably to a local buyer (Bozeman MT) so i dont need to deal with shipping but if you're willing to pay shipping i can...

So just as rcv makes pretty much bulletproof shafts for front diffs is there a company out there as of yet that makes abnormaly beefy gearsets for differentials? I realize this may sound stupid but its a legitimate thought i had. Why hasnt a company made gears out of some of these modern...
