I have done some searches, but haven't found any way to identify the rear
differential on my 1998 Jeep TJ. I am assuming it is a 30 front, 35 rear,
but I was just wondering what identifying marks should I look for? How can
I tell that I have the 35? I am asking this question due to the fact that I
bought this jeep used, and it has a bunch of other upgrades (from factory).
What identifying marks would the d44 have?

1998 Jeep TJ Sport

 

What? Bill hasn't posted a link yet?

He must be busy.

See, now I may have the dana 44 rear end, because that's the shape of diff
that I have. I'm really going to hafta look into this a little more! I'm
going to call my local jeep dealer today :)

Thanks Bill, that confirms what I already suspected, the PO of my TJ loaded
it up with every possible option except ABS and an automatic, darn nice of
him if you ask me.

You don't need to call anybody.

Look at the diff. If it looks like an apple (a Washington Delicious apple to
be precise), then you have a D44. If it looks like anything else and you
have a D35C, or a TJ that has been modified, in which case the dealer won't
be much help.

If it looks like an apple on its side, it is a D44, otherwise it is a D35C.
Another trait of the D35C is the fill hole has a rubber stopper in it, the
D44 gets a screw-in plug.
