Dana 44 Posi Question

[Machinehead49]

just installed a new Dana 44 in my 2003 wrangler Sahara. It came out of a 2005 wrangler unlimited. My question is do all 44's come with a posi? How do I know if this one has one in it?

Jack it up and spin a tire. If the opposite tire spins the same direction, posi. If it spins the opposite direction, open diff.

X2 to the above advice.

I'm not entirely clear on which years came with the limited slip. I think @Jerry Bransford may know.

I also located this information about the following:
Unlimited (LJ) - 2004-2006
* 4.0L I-6 engine
* Dana 44 rear axle with 3.73 gears and Trac-Lok limited slip differential
* 10" longer wheelbase
* 5" extra rear overhang
* 2" additional room behind front seats for rear seat passengers
* 3,500 lbs. towing capacity

You should have a limited slip then.

You should have a limited slip then.

If it's working. Those clutches wear out pretty quickly.

Clutches wear quickly in the already weak Traclok. But they are pretty easily replaced.

My clutches were fine when I re-geared at 140K miles, but I replaced them anyway since I was in there.
