I am here once again trying to find out from from the experienced crew if thisbis a Dana 35 or a C8.25 (they look very similar to me) i will be replacing the cover since this one is very corroded/pitted. Also any suggestions in covers is greatly appreciated, was looking at ARB's but probably there is something better out there.

 

here are pictures of all the stack differentials that came in xj's

 

thanks, i was looking at that same picture and i am inclined more for the c8.25. Not sure

 

I look at your picture and I see a dana 35 look at the lip next to the bolts and you will see a difference .

 

you are totally correct. The 35 is flat the other one has a rounded lip. Thanks, now i can start my search for a new cover.

 

its stamped right on the cover in your photo DANA

the 8.25 is NOT a dana

 

I like the ruff stuff covers

 

I see your point, but try asking Dana for Trac-Lok parts for a 8.25 trac lok. Oh, they produce them, but do not make serviceable parts like they do for the D35.. you cannot get spider gears or side gears for an 8 25 trac lok. You gotta buy the whole thing.

"Its a chrysler axle"

"You guys make the carrier"

"Yeah, but it's in a Chrysler differential"

"Someone is putting them together somewhere dip****"

 

It's a turdy5 and if you take it offroad you can easily confirm it.

 

It says Dana on it.
