cant find much searcing 583 .. it is stamped on pumpkin, front axle housing (not the cover) .. didnt write other #s down

tryin to figure out what front drive I have .. still figuring out this jeep

1993 XJ base model HO

any tips how to figure out the rear makeup also? thanks

 

hp d30 for the front...

 

Front axle is a dana 30 and rear is either a dana 35 or chrysler 8.25

 

cool, thanks

other question: do the front drive parts move when 2x4 ? obviously the shafts move with wheel .. anything else?

just curious because fluid in diff was way low when I bought it, couldnt feel any sticking finger in the fill-hole, I mean sticking it IN as far as possible. I topped it off though .. not sure how many miles it was used like that

took approx a quart to fill .. will be looking for any leaks in AM. U-joints are about to get swapped too, curious on condition of axle shafts

hopin Im not in for severe damage being so dry in there

 

You won't feel it by sticking your finger in the hole the front diff only takes a quart to 1.25 qts I can remember the exact spec. But filling it till it comes out the hole is too much and you will blow seals that way.

 

according to original 1993 manual in glovebox, should be filled to approx 1/2" below fill hole

front 3.125 US Pints / 1.5L

rear 2.5 US pints / 1.2L


I definatly had my finger at least an inch in, couldnt feel a drop.

but will back some out in AM to be safe, if no leaks found

 

works for me. Ltr is about the same as a quart.

I forget I have diff covers so my hole is a lot higher. Thats the reason I can never feel it lol.

All ya need to do is send a letter or email to your local Jeep dealer with your VIN. Ask them to send you the build sheet for your VIN.

This way you KNOW what you have unless any of the POs have changed anything.
