Danny,

The cover differences are subtle. The most obvious difference is that
the bottom of the cast housing on the 8.25 is flat and protrudes past
the cover, whereas the bottom of the 35 housing is rounded like the cover:

And yes, as far as I know, all XJs with ABS have Dana 35. On non ABS, it
can be the corporate 8.25 or the Dana 35. 8.25s appearing from '91-'96
have shafts that are just as weak as the Dana 35. From '97 onward, 8.25
axle shafts are significantly thicker with a higher spline count

Earle Horton

Unless I am mistaken, the 8.25 cover is made out of thinner metal and has a
rolled-over edge.
