got my eyes on this
im a novice, but im pretty sure this is a dana 44.
is this correct?
its in a 87 xj pioneer
rotor to rotor rear end is $150 - %50 = $75 Woot!

i also saw a 93 with lots of goodies.
like a instrument cluster with gauges and not dummy lights.
a fan shroud, and an electric fan.

fan shroud 17
elec fan 27
instr clust 25
_____________
69 - %50 = $34.50 Woot!!!

 

Not all 87-90 XJ's will have a Dana44 rear axle.

Your link is no good.

 

ones with tow package right.
check the link again, i fixed it.

 

Get it....

 

I think that's a Dana44... hmm, it says, "Use Limited Slip Gear Lube Only". I can't read the stamp on the housing that would give the gear ratio and if it had limited slip or not, but that sounds good!

One of these days I'll need to hit up a pick-n-pull yard. How do they work? Just show up with your tools and go out into the field?

 

yup i throw my tools in a 5 gallon bucket and get all when i walk in!

 

Half off weekend that would be sweet! we only have one around here and you go in pay $2 and go looking for you parts. they tell you around where they are. when you find somethen ask or pull then pay lol

 

yeah i know uve heard of LKQ out on ISB west of I-95. you pay $2 and grab a wheel barrel and throw ur tools in ther and take off on the treasure hunt.. we can arrange a day where we can meet out there... i call the first D44 though if we spot one =] lol

 

I forgot to consider gear ratio...
Gearing

3.07 - used with 4.0L engine / manual transmission
3.31 - only available on older (pre87?) 2 door XJs with "Fuel Economy" package
3.55 - used with 4.0L engine / automatic transmission
3.73 - found in some XJs with the towing package
4.10 - used with 2.5L engine usually, and older XJs with the "Off-Highway Vehicle" package.

my gearing is 3.55
guess i have to make sure its not 3.73

 

99% of the XJ D44's are gonna be 3:55's. I once found one with 3:07's (2wd).. but thats rare.

I also found one with dealer installed 4:10's.

 

Hey Daytona guys, if you're planning an LKQ trip, let me know so I can join up. I need some random stuff, and the local self-serve yard sucks for most things.

 

$75 for a d44....jump on that and run before someone else spots that beauty

 

The tag shows 3.54 gears. Snag it before someone else does. Just be ready to rebuild it depending on mileage and also to rebuild the Limitied Slip.

 

Yep, I've heard of them. Never been there, though. Gonna have to head over there one day.

 

stop mocking me with your cool junkyards
