Wife tryed to upload the pictures, she put them in with the pictures of my rig, if you click on pictures of my Cherokee you will see a dana 60 cover, click on it and both the dana 60 and the other unidentified cover will show up. Its not aluminum and yes I have built and installed ring and pinions and lockers in both D44 and D60 differentials so I know the diffirence, I just don't see a cover that matches the Grand Cherokee but the D60 is the same width as the cover on the Grand just minor difference on upper curvature.

How many lugs, not that 60s didn't come in 5 lug in old Mopar muscle cars but not 5x4.5. Buddy of mine wheels a 98 with the 360 and it came with a 44a.

you can get 5 x 4.5 shafts for semi float D60's.....

dual drilled Alloy USA 4340 shafts that can accommodate 5 x 4.5” and 5 x 5.5” wheel patterns.

My mistake, after seeing that my rear cover didn't match any of the ones displayed in a prior post I took a file to it to see if it was indeed aluminumand quess what, it was indeed Aluminum Dana 44A. I have been to the salvage rumaging through the Grand Cherokees at Pull-A-Part but this is the first one I've seen, cover looks almost like the dana 60 and the housing looks as beefy as a dana 60 , guess the alum. has to be much beefier to take the stress, sorry for the false alarm but I do have a 14 bolt with detroit locker and disc brakes and Rusty's Offroad has a rear bracket set, hummmm.
