Either your shop is taking you to the ringer or you are being very harsh on your rig while the locker is engaged...

ok just checked it i push about 3000 rpm at 65, i think i was thinking about 75 mph. basically keeping speed on the highway thru I-70 sucks. here's my ACTUAL question: where can i get a dana 44 axle for cheap?? im sick of snapping the 30 in snow or in moab, the locker is a non issue as i'd have to get a new one anyway

Well if you have the money to keep throwing at it like you have been, maybe you need to go with 60's (just skip past the 44's), sounds like your a little rough on your rig.
I've seen 30's take some abuse and make it out ok.
