Well my friend 2 ways, 1 is too take a pic, 2nd is to look at the rear diff, if it ha an oval cover and a flat bottom it's a c8.25 if it looks like an apple on it's aide it can be a Dana 44 if it's oval with an iCal bottom it a Dana 35.

 

i'm affraid it might be the 8.25, but what's the ical bottom? it looks kinda like an aireal view of a football field if that makes any sense. it's an oval

 

scratch that, just did some research, i'm 99% sure it's the 8.25, so in that case, what's the deal with it?????

 

What u mean whats the deal?

 

can the 8.25 simply not hand the bigger tires? i ran it with the 33's with no problem. i'm simply curious bc i want to make sure i don't f it up. i'm gonna upgrade diff in the near future but not now.

what will the 35's do to the 8.25... simply put

 

One how do you upgrade the diff? The 8.25 is pretty strong, you should be.fine running the 35s as long as it isnt locked and you dont beat it like a ginger kid

 

sorry, i'm a road racer, drifter, and an at heart off roader... i moved to indy from the country so i've been away from 4 wheel drives for a while, did some car stuff so i'm speaking in those terms, haha! diff out of a car, axles out of a jeep...

i want to go lockers and all that jazz but i just wanted to make sure i could run the 35's on the stock diffs/axles!!!

i do appreciate all the help though

 

Lol i did the whole show car.thing, did all the tuner stuff, had a 95 cosworth escort rs, it would smoke most anything on the road! Id be careful with it locked fron will break rear can break, my buddy broke his locked 8.25 with 33s but he also beats on it

 

Well if you wanna safely run 35s yea you gotta be safe with em but what year rig you got. The later years got the 29 spline 8.25 with is food and strong. If you wanna go all out then go get yourself a Dana 44 or ford 8.8, welding will be required for this one to fit properly

 

Yep why i wentthe way i did

 

thank you to you both.

i'll definitely be upgrading to the 44 most likely, it all takes money and time. one of which i have plenty, and the other, never enough

 

my ac works fantastic, but sometimes while its on my jeep stalls when going from reverse to drive or very rarely at a stop light or stop sign.
i notice when i turn it on the rpms dont move at all.
im guessing there is a broken relay somewhere. can anyone point me on the right path?

 

HELLO!
I am looking for information on Door alignment. While driving down the road I get severe wind noise. Now, it is a Jeep but I can see the misalignment from the outside when the doors are shut. Is there a guide? Our a Veteran Jeeper located in PHX that can "school" me on this. After 5-6 attempts I still can not get it and I am becoming disheartened.

yes it is. You will need to change out your oil pressure sensor and temperature sensor with ones made for the guages, and swap the cluster.
