Have a 94xj and ordered gears for it. Went to install this morning and I have the wrong gears. How do I know if I have a d30hp or d30lp. And where can I get the right gears?

If the pinion is toward the top of the diff it is high pinion, if it is toward the bottom, it is low pinion. This question worries me, gears are not something the average Joe should be doing, it isn't as easy as bolting the new gears in, there are a lot of tiny adjustments you have to make, if they are even a little bit off, it can be catastrophic.

Which axle has the reverse and standard gears. I was having them installed at a local dealership so I'm sure they have the tools and knowledge how to install them. My pinion is closer to the bottom of the case so I'm guessing the d30lp.

High pinion has reverse cut gears, you need the standard

Ok thank you makes sense. I guess I ordered hp gears so now I'm gunna order lp standard rotation gears. Thank you

Hang on, if you have a 96, you should have a high pinion, I believe the low pinion was only used in 2000+. Check the axle again, or even better, take a picture

He said he had a 94 so yeah, that should be a hp

Front axles not original it was swaped when I bought I think it says 98 on the case somewhere

Will theses work or is there a better brand/cheaper price

ohio95xj

Yes, as long as you are sure it's a low pinion.

Here's what I got I believe it is a low pinion dana30

ohio95xj

That is indeed a low pinion

Why don't you get a hp30 and install gears in that axle? It's much better than lp30 axles.

Does anyone know if I have to buy a bigger carrier for 410 on a c8.25 like you do for a Dana

XJwonders

No u don't need a bigger carrier for a 8.25
