I have a 1998 Jeep Cherokee 4 door Sport. I want to know what axles (might be dana 30 and 8.25)but cant figure it out. They have 3.55 gears. Ill upload pics of them when I get home.

 

Most likely hp30 and 8.25.

 

Yup! 29 spline C8.25. Earlier years used 27 spline

 

All Cherokees of that your vintage had Dana 30s up front. And unless you have ABS, you've got a Chrysler 8.25 in the rear.

Dana 35 if you have ABS.

 

I thought it might have been a DANA 30 upfront and chrysler 8.25 in the rear.

 

You can still have a Dana 35.if you don't have ABS. Post a picture and we will tell you.

 

All xj/mj/yj/zj/tj had a d30 up front
Most people would agree that all i6 automatics came with 3.55 gears.
V6 cherokees may have been different

 

Yes. The 85-86 AMC Cherokee Waggys with the Chevrolet 2.8 V-6 had 3.31 gearing (I have these) When Chrysler aquired AMC they offered a 3.73 gearing option. Other than these two options the basic gearing is 3.55 for automatics and 3.07 for standard transmissions.

 

Sorry guys I've been kinda a busy I'll upload the pics today

 

Here. For future reference and to remove any doubt.

 

now do you really think he can be able to tell the difference between the d35 and the 8.25 just by referring to this pic? i bet you couldn't either... if you've never seen them before.

easiest way to tell is the 8.25 has a flat bottom on the axle. the two diff covers look very similar. so unless you know what to look for, you will be confused.

8.25




d35

 

Well if he's got any brains he should be able to tell the difference, I know when I did my searching I referred to that same chart when I got my jeep. Can't just take a quick look, if ya smart you'll look and take in the differences.

 

So I take this is the 8.25

 

Yes

 

Please post photos of the V6 Cherokees, as I have never seen any. It is possible since I have little experience with them. Just been around Jeeps for about 50 years.
