I got one off ebay, going on 2 years now and no problems. I paid around $125 for it.

Im interested too????

I prefer mig myself. Crank the welder up and go.

well I picked it up today for $75, good deal or no?? Looks good now too with alittle help from a wire wheel. I think its a 3.07 ratio, what axles are in it?

a picture is worth a thousand words, thanks for the link and yes I did some searching, looks like Ill be going back in the morning to pull it.

I couldnt get a direct shot of the diff cover cause theres a rim holding the rear of the truck up.

would there be any casting marks on it to identify it as a dana44? Ive looked at atleast 10 different axles in pics online and each and every one have the 3 fins on the left side. thanks for the input all you guys have given.

I think I see what your talking about Terry ( up towards the top of the diff cover), ill check it out closer tommorow when I go back. I wonder why this housing looks different than the other 44's?? I doubt someone put this rear end in this one from something else, its a stock hooptie. The axles...

If not then Im gonna just search for an 8.8 from an explorer.

I need to regear and all that anyways, its slightly different than Anthony's. Is it safe to say its a dana 44?? I can get it for $150.

1 one thing i did notice about it is that it has the threaded drain plug on the diff cover. All the 8.25's and 35's I seen didnt have that.

theres a few 44's on ebay right now and on the left side of the pig it has 3 fins as part of the casting. The one I found has one big one right on the center, Too hard without pic I guess.

I dont see how to attach pics. Says I "may not" post attachments.

Found this at a junk yard but Im not sure what it is. I know its not a dana35 or the 8.25 but it also doesnt look like the dana 44's Ive seen from the cherokees. This cherokee says it was built 10/86 so thats considered 87?? What other rear ends came in the older Cherokee's?? I gotta try and get...

so is the front D30 strong enough for 36's or do those need upgraded too?? Im looking for a D44 or exploder 8.8 for the rear right now. Once I find out about the front axle then I can locate em and buy my gears.
