Dana 44 in TJ question
 

I'm shopping for a used TJ. Is there an easy way to tell if it's got the
Dana 44 rear end in it?

I think that you had to get 4.0 liter engine to get the Dana 44, right? Am
I reduced to crawling underneath each and every Jeep that I take a look at,
or are there other clues?

And, what does the Dana 44 look like versus the 35? Can someone point me to
a link with some good pics so I know what I am looking at?

Thanks!
H.

The D44 differential has a shape like an apple. It is very obvious once you
see one.

Re: Dana 44 in TJ question
 

Another easy way to tell is to crawl under it, and look at the fill
hole. If it's a threaded metal bolt, it's a 44. If it's like a plastic
plug, 35c. But ya, you'd have to crawl under that way hehehe. If you
use the apple vs. oval, you can typically tell by just squatting. :)
