I'm at work, and my boss wants me to order him some TA Performance Differential Covers today for is '87 Grand Wagoneer. Unfortunately, his Jeep is sitting about 650 miles away from here, and no pictures. All he knows is that as of right now, its completely stock, and it came with a 360 V8 in it. I'm assuming Dana 44's in the front and rear... anyone want to back me up on this? Also, if it is Dana 44 in the front, would the cover be the same one they sell for the rear? TA doesn't seem to sell front covers.

4.3L XJ

Yes that would be a D44. A D44 is a D44. They will all fit.

Long Island XJ

The rear could also be a AMC model 20.

Might just want to order the front first, that is defiantly a 44.

44s would be my bet but to be sure have him get someone to get cell phone pics of the covers

a1racer

probablya good idea and i would bet they are d44's as well but as pointed out they will and can have different ones depending on year and model

mike37

yep

d44 and the model 20 are listed as being used in that year
but with the 360 I think its likely a 44 but I would not bet on it

Long Island XJ

Ive had 3 360 with the model 20 rear and only one 360 with the 44.

mike37

are the 20 stronger than the 44

front 44's had a thicker cover than the rears. so if you can, order 2 fronts.
however, aftermarkets should be thick anyways.

They are relatively close in strength.. JP had an article a few years ago.. and IIRC the Model 20 and the 44 were VERY close...

The 87 Grand Wagoneer would have the 1 piece axle shafts which were the weak point of the CJ D-44's... Also by 87 the 5.9(360) was the only engine choice for the big Waggy.
