How bad is the 2001 Dana 35?
I have read up a little, but there is not alot of info for 2001 XJ's with the D35. its non abs, no lsd, and 3.55 gears. I do not offroad with it, but I do alot of 500+ mile drives at a time. I do beat on the jeep pretty good, but nothing crazy. No burnouts, just a few 0-60s every now and again
How long should I expect the axle to last? It also had new axle shafts when I bought it 4k miles ago. |

depends on the shafts that were just put in it.

If you break an axle on the freeway then you sir are the most hardcore wheeler alive
|
i wheel a 35... never gotten stuck. just have to know your car's limits.
edit:never broken anything axle related. |
sounds like you're just beating on your engine and transmission. axle should be totally fine. be more concerned with cracking that 00-01 head haha
|
U won't break it driving around town. Especially if you are stock.
|
Well, this is fantastic news... I guess I just got scared from all the negative posts on the D35, but if it will last then I will be happier than a retard in a room full of bouncy balls.
That said, how good are they for towing small things like a lawnmower or 4wheeler? |
01 non ABS, should be Chrysler 8.25, not D35 FWIW.

That said, how good are they for towing small things like a lawnmower or 4wheeler? to break that axle you'll have to throw 33's or bigger on it and hammer down on some rocks. and even that doesnt do it sometimes. my buddies kept the d35 and 33's on this TJ for over a year now plenty of people have no problems with d35 |

I stand corrected.

I think the reason it has a 35 is because of...
