Quick question. My rear axle, I am trying to figure out what it is. Its a 95 XJ, and i couldnt find any dana emblems or anything like that. On the fornt tho it says dana on the cover, on the rear the only thing i can find is a chrysler emblem up near the yoke and a few wierd numbers. is this the 8.25?

Thanks
Bryant

nope.

dana 35's switched to rubber plug somewhere between 88 and 91, so that's not a great way to determine.

The shape is more accented on the D35

Easiest and most for sure way is to just look at the diff cover and if there is a flat bottom that hangs a little below it's the 8.25.

If anyone has to resort to that, I'd advise them to have someone else work on their jeep
