Than it's an Auburn Limited Slip. Better than a Traclok for sure but it's a limited slip, the clutch plates are the dead give away. Here is the link to it http://www.4wd.com/Jeep-Drivetrain-J...t_pn=AUB542082
Thanks....I hope the clutch plates are good. I would think they are. The guy I bought it from was very good about giving me the info and said he just had new Timken bearing put in. He upgraded to the Ford axle. IT was already under his jeep and it looked good.
I will be putting this one in mine in August when my son gets her to help. Gong to be a nice project. I guess I will be removing all the ABS and the light bulb at the same time. lol

Well the D44 is in.
You can see the difference between the D35 and the D44 in these picture. The brake drums are "MUCH" bigger and do brake better. Also the entire axle is just bigger and stronger so much better suited for the bigger tires.
I took it out last weekend and the posi worked flawlessly. I have an aussie locker that should be delivered today going in the front before Friday. Let you know how it does with it in soon.

Steering upgrade continues...
Put the upgraded trac bar mount in. Also put a reinforcing cross bar in with it. All from Rusty's. Has made the steering tighter and it will articulate more as ther is no restriction in the trac bar joint now. These are prone to restricting and failing under extreme articulation.

Now Rolling on 35 x 12.5 x 15s. I trimmed the front fender flares to fit them. I left enough to add some Napier flares in a bit. Still running the same 4 1/2" Rusty's lift. Has served well.
