I have a 1991 laredo with ABS Brakes I bought a dana 44 out of a XJ with the same gears as mine. Will I need to do anything to the brake system other than bleed it after install? Or am I going to have problems?

Thanks,

Michael

It'll work fine....I pulled the ABS fuse and relay, and cut the wires going to the rear axle. no ABS anymore, d44 in the rear, no problems.

I don't have any problems with mine with the exception of my ABS light coming on whenever I tap the brakes.....

My abs light is on continuously...I just put a piece of electrical tape over that and the stupid shift light. Much less annoying.
