The differential covers are very different looking! Google Dana 44 and Dana 35. Seeing a picture should clear up any confusion.

Where's the OP? I've been anxiously awaiting the results and subsequent reaction to finding a D35 under his Jeep.

Did he put it in or is it one of the rare XJ's that came with the D44 from the factory?
