If you have ABS you "DO" have a Dana 35. Without ABS you could have either axle depending on the vehicle year and if it was equipped with that option. Yes it was an option and not standard equipment.

ok. but its not constantly clicking. its not a broken axle. both wheels have the ability to spin.

read carefully haha

i put it into posi, when i first got it, i turned really sharp and heard one pop. just one. then i noticed every time i were to lock it, the rear would work, but the front was just a free differential.

before the pop it was locked, after the pop it is not locked.
