VIN decode 87 Wagoneer(XJ version)
Found a Jeep Wagoneer Limited in a salvage yard but its more than an hour away and I was hoping to find out which axle it has under it before I go out there. The salvage yard people weren't much help but here is the VIN 1JCMT7549HT127125. Thanks for the help.

That's kind of what I was afraid of, I called the Chrysler dealer and they couldn't help me much, but that it had the extra trans cooling and tow package and that it had a 3.42:1 ratio which i have never heard of. Thanks.

Unfortunately the salvage yard worker i talked to refused to take a picture of the rear axle assy, but here is the ad. Maybe you can get some insight from it.

Its about an hourish away, I was hoping to get confirmation one way or the other. There are some other salvage yards around there so i might just stop by one of those too so as to not "waste" the trip if its not a D44.

The only way this unit would have a D44 is if someone swapped it. I'm not so sure I'd drive an hour either. I'd be willing to bet it's a D35. The D44 was stock in the Grand Wagoneers. Good luck!

Grand cherokee 44s a aluminum not very strong. 8.25 much better choice I run one with 38s no issues even got it from a 4cyl free 410 upgrade. Double score 125.00 of a 96 two door coccer mom. Plug and mud.

87 Limited with a 242 transfer case.
If it has a towing package, it could very well have a Dana 44 from the factory.
