Ok i have been searching the forums about seeing what rear end i have i hopeing for the 8.25 but i cant tell difference between d35 and the 8.25 they look real similar. Heres is a pic of the jeep and the rear end hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.....looking to buy a locker for the rear and wiuld appreciate any info thanks in advance......oh and its a 91 cherkoo laredo 4x4 with 4.0 and i got it for 400 bucks

 

That's a D35, but for that year, the 8.25 wasn't any better.

Find yourself an 8.25 out of a 97+ and you'll be hooked up with 29 spline axle shafts.

 

That's a Dana 35. I would suggest to get another rear axle while ur at it

 

Yeah, definitely don't waste your money on upgrading the 35. You can throw a bunch of money into it with chromo shafts and c-clip eliminators and lockers, but for the money you'll spend, there's much better axles right out of the box.

 

Thanks for all the respones.....so basically go get a rear end from a 97 and newer cherokee then.........did 97 and up only come with the 8.25 or were there different rearends like my year? I know my loval junkyard has about 15 20 cherokees so hopefully i can come across one soon hopefully......and the 97 and up are 29 spline axles which is better i figure

 

If it has ABS it has a Turdy 5

Edit:
Also 8.25 has flat spots top and bottom and a rubber fill plug:

Ok so if the 97 and newer has abs then it has the 35 of no abs it has the 8.25 then correct........i just not trying to dump a bunch into a junk rearend that mine has if i can go to jy to get a swapable rearend that better to upgrade

 

correct but there's some d35's that came on non-ABS models too so best case is to memorize how the axle looks like (with a flat lip on bottom) and search for it.

 

This is a Chrysler 8.25. The massive flat spot sticks out farther than the cover. On the D35 the cover matches the housing shape perfectly.

 

Also isn't there a 27 spline version of the 8.25? Is it '99 and later has 29 spline?

 

in 1996 they changed to 29 spline version but there's a mix of both in that year, so to be truly safe, it's generally recommended to choose one from 97-01

 

Ok thanks guys for info ill will be searching jy this weekend just got done putting grand cherokee v8 springs on my cherokee now time to level the back

 

Now gotta level the back out

 

Advice needed.. I have a 98 4.0 with 168k on it, having a cylinder 1 misfire.
Prior to this:
1. CPS went out- replaced w/out issue
2. Smog shop ripped off a vacuum line on the top of the manifold - fixed torn boot/cleared CEL no issue
3. Leaky Trans Cooler Line - Fixed
4. Replaced motor and tranny mounts.
After the mounts I got a CEL P301
1. Switched injector 1 & 3 code stayed with cylinder 1
2. Replaced wires/plugs/cap/rotor - no change
3. Took it in for a compression and leak down test - all very good - no change
4. Used BG 44k in the gas tank and have driven it around 600 miles (2 tanks of gas). Still having the misfire esp when cold.
How long before I see results with the BG 44k? Should I retreat? Any suggestions or advice on how to proceed is greatly appreciated.

 

Is there any damage on wiring or plug on injector 1?
