I'm confused. How would I know if I have the d44 or the d35 on the rear. I have a 2dr 6-spd X. I see alot of people saying they have d44's and their sticker shows this, my does not no I did not get the tow package. I'm assuming I have the d35 then? Or are these rumors that the d44 is on all JK's true, better yet if someone could tell me how to find out on the axle I'll gladly go look, no better time than now to start learning this stuff.

 

Your window sticker should tell you your axels. i would bet a D35 is what you ended up with, D44 is an option on most Jeeps except the Rubicon. Papabear

 

Don't worry. The manual transmission comes with the 44 automatically. The only people who might get the 35 are those with automatic 2dr X w/o the tow pckg or the rear limited slip option.

 

So after asking I finally got under my wrangler, I tried to look for the marking that the website say can be used to find out the type of axle but had no luck, but did find a sticker on the axle that says part# 44 I am assuming this is the axle size but who knows. At this point I'm all stock so it doesn't matter too much, just more a curiosity that anything.

 

here's an axle ID,...just match up the shape

 

man you guys are great, ask a question and within the day its answered. Plus your willing to be patient with us new to the jeep thing.

 

We were all new with our first Jeep and we are all still learning about this new JK. And we like to see the Jeep family grow.

 

From the literature I have all manuals come standard with the 44 no matter what. And autos come with the 35. The tow package gets you the 44 with 4.10 gears. All autos come with the 4.10 gears.

 

I've got an 07 2dr Sahara with D44/4.10's not tow package, just a hook out back.

chew on that!

 

I just bought an 07 2dr Sahara. It has a D44 in back. Someone mentioned earlier that the upgraded axles will be on the window sticker. Well, this is not always true. Mine did not come with the tow package either, nor did my Sahara come with power windows/locks(which I did not want) and no this was not specifically built for anyone.
