I found an '87 that has problems running, lots of floor rot, and the owner says might have some T-case problems... but it has D44 front(CAD) & D44 rear.
It also has a T-case skid, gas tank skid, & front tow hooks.

I offered him $200, and he said sure.

Now, I dont know alot about the CAD....is there a way to get rid of it altogether???
...like replacing the axle or something?

Or should I worry about that later, and just buy the thing?

 

Even if you don't use the front axle, the rest is well worth it. Do it!

 

The D44 front and rear are worth that. jump on it

 

Im just waiting for the guy to wake up.
haha

 

yea i agree with everyone else two d44s for 200 bucks sounds like a steal to me

 

what is cad?

 

I just talked him down to $150.

I'll post some pics, in a sec,
for you non-believers...

 

Central Axle Disconnect

That weird looking pod on the passenger side, that has vacuum lines going to it.

 

I have a Jeep Chrysler book in front of me at the shop right now. It says Cherokees that ever came with a d44 were overseas and weren't produced till 92. also they never came to North America, this is what jeep book is saying. if it really has a d44 front thats a steal!

 

Lets see pics..

 

are you sure its not a FSJ ie grand wagoneer? they came with d44 front and rear from 86-91 with the CAD system

 

Some of the export XJ's had the D44 front axle, mostly South America. It's the same axle that eventually ended up in the Rubicons.. D44 diff with 30 outters.

To my understanding none were CAD.

150 for the rear 44 and the resty of the usable parts is a steal.. grab it.

 

ya skimming through this book my boss has it looks like south america and some were sold in Japan but that was under 800 units.

 

Hmm...I think I got a little to excited, when I saw the rear and then checked the front... Cause the more I look at it, the more it looks like a D30, just with a D44 plug...
Oh well...still got a D44, gas tank skid, TC skid, & tow hooks for $150

Heres pics...

'87


Rear Diff.


....D30 with D44 plug???

 

Yes, it's a D30. Still good deal for the other parts.
