Want to sell me your d44 rear?

With the 3.07 in? Assuming I get the new one in and working ok, sure.

I'll PM you when it's done.

Before I changed my Axles I had a powertrax locker in the back, it made for an interesting drive in the wet lol, It just didnt want to unlock. it did get better as time went on but knew it was going to be a nightmare in the snow and skitty conditions as its my daily. Offroad though what a piece of kit.

Yeah, I'm hoping it won't be too much of a handful in the snow as that's when I enjoy my car the most!

My 2000 2.5 TJ had 3.73 gears...not 4.10 from the factory.  D30 front and D44 rear with LSD.

Then bubba kindly re geared it to 4.56 for me.

I thought it was only the 2.5 Cherokee that had 4.10 as standard....

Hmmm. That's worrying, because I don't want 3.73s to turn up at my door!

Is it an auto?

Edit: Yeah, according to http://www.quadratec.com/jeep_knowledgebase/article-91.htm 3.73 was on the autos.

Mines a manual. Never seen a 2.5 auto TJ in the UK.

Hmmm. No idea why you got 3.73s then. Fingers crossed that when mine turn up they are 4.10s.

Was wondering if there was a towing option to reduce the gearing, but seems unlikely on the 4 cylinder.

I found the build sheet really interesting - was impressed that they had records for all the cars going back that far. 18 years!

Did the D44 in 2500cc cars come with the TrakLok LSD?

D44 came in all TJs ......we were lucky. Don't think they had LSD, and if they did it was the clutch type that was prone to wear out......so by now it will be worse than useless .......time for a locker when the jar of 5p coins have increased some more :icon_super:

Ta. I'm actually thinking about whether or not the carrier will take a lunchbox locker. As far as I know all UK 4L TJs got the TrakLok LSD in their D44s, I'm wondering if the 2.5Ls did too.

The tags on the axle will answer that question, bit wire brush and you should be able to read them.

Or look inside to see the bits.

Got a feeling you need and empty IE non LSD carrier to then put a Lockrite aussie locker or Detroit in.

Mine had the traklok LSD.  Put an open carrier and gears in when it was re geared. So much nicer on the road and not had an issue off road yet.

Thanks Graham.

Guess I'll open it up and find out when the axles arrive. If it's got a Trak-Loc, i'll go with that (and stick new clutches in at some point if required). If it's open, i'll try a lunchbox (Aussie) locker and see how that goes.

Did you get your build sheet back from Chrysler?

Whatever you do don't put anything in the front.......I did :jpshakehead:

Took me on a very expensive journey of Free Wheeling Hubs and stuff...... Lots it shake shimmy and wobble.......
And at the last moment I went ARB.......
Bliss.   Should have done that in the first place.....

Traction when you need it and turning tight off road also....... Worth saving up for...... :icon_super:

Indeed, ARB in the front is the way-to-go.
