Project today.


I've had a rear main seal leak for several months. After watching numerous YouTube videos I decided to tackle the job. It wasn't to bad. I spent more time getting the oil pan off and on than I did on the rest of the project. I was covered in dirty grease from head to toe. But hey I saved some bucks and learned a new skill.

Default Running Gear Swap

Ok, this is my 1st post. Hope I'm starting off right.
We have a 3-96 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4, straight 6, automatic, 3.73 gears front dana 30 & back dana 35 with coil springs. It has been rolled.
Now we also have a 5-95 Jeep Cherokee 2x4, straight 6, automatic, 3.50 gears
dana 44 with leaf springs.
We're thinking about putting the front drive axle, transmission & transfer case from the 96 into the 95 & changing the front gears to 3.54 gears. It looks like the front axle will bolt up. shorten a drive line or two.
Even if this works, can I make or will the computer work out of the 96 into
the 95?
Or do you know a better way to do this? Or is this just a waste of time?
Anyway thank you for any insight you can give me for this job.

The front axle will bolt right in. It is low pinion but will work just fine. The tranny and case will NOT work.

Your best bet will be to find another XJ to get the parts from.

Also, can you verify that's a D44? They weren't offered in '95, but it may have been swapped previously.

Do you have a picture of what you're talking about? The language barrier is making it a bit hard to understand.
