Re: Dana 44 - 30 spline axle question
Mike, I apologize if I violated any group regulations. It is my
opinion that my threads are mutually exclusive:
How do you determine if you have a limited slip diff without removing
the diff cover?
What is different on an open diff Dana 44 axle vs. a limited slip diff
Dana 44 axle?
Do all 2000 Wrangler factory installed Dana 44 diffs have the limited
slip?
Via your help I have determined that 1) I do have the limited slip and
2) all 2000 Wrangler factory equipped Dana 44 diffs did 'not' have
limited slips.
So I would say that those threads are indeed finished.
I love you man!

Re: Dana 44 - 30 spline axle question
Jerry got the other too I think.
I didn't mean to be snappy but some folks seem to start a half dozen
threads about the same thing so they end up with really bad advise
because they don't always understand the answer or better they don't
understand the question sometimes and the threads go sideways.

Re: Dana 44 - 30 spline axle question
From a pure durability standpoint I'd have to defer to popular belief that
the Detroit is the stronger of the two. I can't speak about the street
manners of a Detroit unit but I do have to disagree with your opinion that
the No-Slip is so horrible on road. I have them front and rear and for the
most part it's been pretty transparent. The only time I can really remember
noticing in on the road (in any remotely negative fashion) was when I was
towing a loaded trailer uphill and got strong solid shifts. On that
occasion I got some mild lurching but nothing I'd consider "dangerous". Not
even close.
For the money and ease of installation, and considering I'm not one of those
guys that just HAS to get over that obstacle at any cost, I'd say the value
is hard to beat.
