My wife's jku is in the body shop after a accident. Getting a new front diff. They are saying that jeep offers a dana 30 with 410 gears and a locker. I've never heard of such. Anyone know of this?

 

That would be a dana 44 or rubicon diff... Unless its for the older TJ rubicons??

 

They must be thinking D44 Rubicon front axle. My 07 came with a "Tow Package" that included 4:10 gears and a limited slip D44 in the rear but an open D30 up front.

Heck, if your D30 is trashed you might as well upgrade now if you can afford to.

 

No he said that it was not a 44. Also said the locker was $300 more than open. I have the go a head to get it. We will see what it is next week when we get it back.

 

$300 is a steal for a locker AND installation! Did you ask him what type locker it is?

 

Also said the brand new one is less than a junk yard wanted for a used rubi 44. I know it was $2900.

 

Well if you're getting lockers and 4.10's up front, you'll have to regear the rear as well.

 

We just got a 44 rear from a member here. I was planning on a re gear before the accident.

 

I think he is confused, or is confusing you. You aren't getting a front selectable locker for 300. Maybe he is putting in an Aussie lunchbox?? Ask 'specific' questions so you know what you are getting. If the price is close to a front rubi44, why in the world would you let them install a d30?



A brand new front rubi44 with elocker and 4.10's will be 2660 plus shipping/tax, according to this website.

Why did you buy a rear D44??? Did it get trashed in the wreck too? Or do you have one of the early 07's that came with a
D35?
