How can I tell the difference between the d35 and the d44. Just trying to figure out what I have.
Thanks

 

If I'm not mistaken all JKs have the Dana 44 in the rear. The front will be a Dana 30 unless you have a rubi. Only a few non rubi early model JKs had a 44 up front.

 

What the.......????

 

Hahaha !!!!!

 

Rear D35's were mounted on some non-rubicons for the first half of the '07 model year. (build dates prior to Jan 07 I believe). Not a lot, but enough to have some really pissed off people driving around.

F***'n Catalina wine mixer. That's sweet. For some reason I just figured I had d35 in the rear. Now u have to check the front end. Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones that got the d44 on the front.

 

Yup, every JK has a D44 in the back, only the Rubi's have the D44 in the front. If you don't have a rubi, take a look at the pumpkin size difference between the front and the back to get an idea on the difference.

 

Thanks for your info everyone. This forum rocks! And unfortunately , I have a d30 up front :(

 

Nthinuf is correct--there are a few owners of D35s in the rear.

 

Thanks for the info, I did not know that.
