I bought a kit from National Drivetrain. The kit was okay, but DID NOT include any seals. This turned out to be a pain in the butt. I got some from NAPA and some from Mopar. I rebuilt the case with the parts and it was a bit of a pain. In hind site I suggest you call Mopar and get a reman...

Is there a web site that shows how to rebuild a 231 t-case? When I put my disc brakes on my d-44 there were a couple sites that were a huge help. Was hoping for the same for this job. Thanks, Curt

I already knew my t-case was messed up, but my fluid looks like mercury. I ordered a rebuild kit and chain as Bezil suggested in a different thread, but wanted to know if this t-case is going to be trash, now that I saw the fluid? I know the chain is hitting on the side of the case as well...

I have a '96 5sp XJ and the 231 J is going to go very soon. I looked into rebuilding it and it seems like that is going to cost almost $1000 in parts. A rebuilt one is a pile of $$ as well. I was thinking of going to a bone yard and getting one. Found one for $350. Is this a good idea...

What is the best option on doing a rebuild for 231? I don't have a core due to me using a hack and tap. Anyone making a kit? Any other options? I think my chain is stretched and if I am getting in there I might as well replace wearable parts, got 150 miles on her. Thanks, Curt

My trainsfer case is making a noise. Here is the story. I have a '96 XJ 5sp w/4.10's and 33's. I have been driving lots of highway miles and noticed there is a noise comming from my t-case. At first I thought it was the tranny, but got under it while jacked up and realize it is the t-case...

Did a search and came up with either a 34 or 36 tooth. Don't know if having a 5sp makes a difference. I have 33 KO's and 4.10's. I had 3.07's with 29's stock I think. Sorry if this is too stupid. Curt

Well, I got my d44 in and it worked out well. Also, I put disc brakes from a '96 ZJ on. The '96 have a parking break like a small drum break inside the rotor. Anyway, I have a thump, thump, thump noise that is kind of slow at any speed. This leads me to believe it is in the wheel somewhere...

I have a d35 and an RE 5.5 lift and will be putting in my d44 today. Can't remember how much I need to cut my driveshaft down. It is a rubicon shaft that I bought for this lift. Anyone know? Curt

I didn't want to steal the other thread and yes I did a search. I was wondering why people don't go with receivers front and rear with a winch that plugs right in either one? To me this is the best of both worlds having the option to pull yourself out front or back. Another plus is you can...

I am looking for some stuff on ebay and don't know if some of this will work for me. I have a '96 with dana 30 front and soon to be dana 44 XJ rear. Are they high pinion? Standard or reverse cut? The parts I am looking at are here as links...

What is the break on a d30? Is it the same as a d44? I am interested if I will need a new carrier if I go to 4.10's with this combo. I know I need a new one for the d44, but not sure if I do for the d30. Thanks, Curt

Looking for complete rear disc brakes from backing plates out and all cables etc. Doing a d44 disc brake set up, if I can swing it. Let me know at [email protected] Thanks, Curt

I have been reading on lockers and so on and have decided on a limited slip for my d44. I do most of my 4 wheeling in slippery terrain and my stock trac loc in my d35 has always worked well, so that is what I have decided. I may lock the front with ARB or something like that when I can afford...

Sorry, if this was asked before. I just can't seem to find a thread that contains the part numbers. On top of that I did a search and couldn't find anything except something that was hard to understand. I think they are: 605342-1 (3.07) 605342-3 (3.54) ? (3.55) I am looking at a couple...

Not sure if I am doing this right. I am using this site... http://www.4lo.com/4LoCalc.htm If I am going at 2000 rpms with a tire diameter of 32.7 Axle ratio of 4.10 and since I have over drive I put .75 as transmission ratio and transcase is 1. Is it correct to put in .75 due to overdrive...

Well, it is after 2:00am here in PA and I am kicking back from my long night. I am finished installing my RE 5.5 and it went pretty will up front. I already posted my install on the rear. The front went much smoother and I got this done in two nights. Not bad for the first time. I aligned...

I am calling junk yards for a XJ dana 44 and they are telling me there computer says Spicer 44. What do they mean they have a Spicer 44? I have found two dana 44's out of and XJ and MJ so far and am looking for the best price. Sorry if this is a stupid question. Curt

Is there a way to tell what gears are in a d44 out of an 87-90 XJ? Also, is there a way to find out if it has trac lock without opening it? I am going to go to junk yards in my area and need help in knowing what to look for and what to ask for. Since I am going to change gears and have a 35...

Are my calculations right? Stock: 225/75 R15 = 28.29" tire height stock gear 3.07 New: 33X10.50 gear needed to be same as stock: 3.58 Is it correct that if I want to be stock I will be running as close to 3.58's as I can get? This doesn't seem right. I am currently running 31's with...
