It will be a few months before it gets installed, Im going to clean it, paint it and rebuild it. Not sure what lockers I want, also not sure if I want to go with the 4:10 gears or the 4:11, which would be better? I plan on getting a 4" lift and 33's down the road. Will the 4:10s be better for that?

The guy is 3 hours away from me. I offered him an extra 25 to meet me half way. And he agreed. So for 50 bucks Im VERY happy. I got my upgraded axle, now I can take my time and rebuild it. With the help of Eric's Book (once I buy it, I no Im waiting till Thursday (pay day)).

Picking that up for $25 bucks. Its a Chryco 8.25 with 3.07 Gears (which is what I have, I belive), it came out of a 1998 Cherokee. It needs brakes, but well I have it off, Im going to do the Disk Brake swap, clean the Axle and paint it with a Rust proof Black paint.

Thats what someone on another forum said. He told me to go to the bone yard find a good low mile set of D-35's with 4.10 gears out of a 4 banger. He said he did it, and paid about 150 for both axles. I priced 4.11 gears at the part store and they want $183 for the back. And another $173 for the front.
So my BEST bet would be, to find a set of D-35's from the bone yard that have 4.10 gears? BUT does it matter if there from an auto? My bone yard only has 1 5 speed. and the diff is marked 3.73.

I plan to go no bigger then 33's. So you advise the 3.73? I found a set of 3.55 gears and a set of 3.73 gears on ebay. The 3.73 gears are $59.95 with $17.00 shipping. The 3.55 gears are Buy It Now, $39.0 with $16.00 shipping. Is that a good deal for the gears? Also if I don't use my 4x4 can I get away with just replacing the back gears for the time being? Or would I HAVE to replace the front gears at the same time?

« on: October 15, 2008, 05:39:53 pm »i do agree with jack if you get that book you will learn alot with your xj. i haveread one and it surprises me what i didn't know even working in a garage and around cars aslong as i have
I was not ignoring your comment. I plan to get the book. I was saying I plan to upgrade the back axle later down the road. So why not do it now. I was thinking of doing the 8.25, but read more on the internet, that the D-44 the better choice. And I found one at my local junk yard. That I think I will pick up. Both trannys come from autos. I now understand there are diff gears from the auto/5 speed. My Jeep being a 5 speed, what I am now asking is, what gears should I go with? The 4.11 gears like you have Jack? I understand I will have to change the gears in the front and the back. Im looking for a better Axle so when later down the road I start taking it off road more, it will hold up. Im also looking for better gears for driving. I also know that my speedo is not telling me my real speed.
I'm not a total idiot, Im just asking for advice about the axle I have in my Jeep and one I want to install into my Jeep. And well I WAIT for the book to get to my house. I was asking for help, until then. Also I have the 4.0 Straight 6 Cyl motor, and its 5 speed like I said before. And yes, I do get the bucking in low gears, it just gets worse in higher gears.
Also here is a short video of my gears, there making a clunking noise when I move them back and forth. Not sure if there to do that, so Im asking, sorry the video is a bit dark, my camera suxs.

I never thought about the bearings going bad, come to think of it, I never have checked my rear since I bought it. Maybe that is the problem. I will have to check that out.

The D-44 is on another Jeep Cherokee, I can't remember the model. But it was auto. Like Iv said before, Im still new at learning about the Axles and other Jeep stuff. I was told that the biggest size that a D-35 is able to hold are 30's.
Also its not the brakes holding up, I replaced the back brakes as soon as I got the Jeep, as well as the E-brake cables. I noticed the little buck when I had my 235/60/R15 on. But I didn't think much of it. When I put my 31's on, I noticed a difference in the bucking within a few months. So I changed my, plugs, wires, cap, rotator. TPS. And still the bucking, I have also checked my brakes again thinking, maybe they where hanging. And there not. So the only other thing that I think it could be is my rear is going bad.

As Im driving down the road, it bucks from the back. If I go into fourth gear, all it does is buck real bad. So I keep it in 3rd most of the time. my one friend that just upgraded the axle in his Jeep, looked at mine, and told me the reason its doing it, is because my 31's are to heavy for the D-35 and its making the axle weaken.
Also I Just came back from the Junk Yard and I found a Chrysler 8.25 out of a 1999 Jeep Cherokee, Classic? Cant remember, but I do know the Jeep is an auto. The price is $250. I also found a D-44 out of an 80's Cherokee, they want $250 for it also (there asking 250 for all axles, they don't know the difference)
My question is, is $250 to much to spend on a 8.25 or a D-44?

Regardless, I'm still upgrading my back axle, its JUNK, it dogs out BAD down the road. I can feel it coming from the back. So right now Im just looking for a good replacement till I do more to my Jeep. And it seems the D-44 is the easiest way to go.

Thats what Im looking to do, but I want to no what to swap it with. What would be the cheapest and easiest swap for me to do. I do not have access to a welder or torch. Only grinders and air tools.
People on another Jeep Forum I belong to, are telling me to go with the late model D-44 or the 97+ 8.25 seeing as how they are bolt ins.

My Jeep has a hitch on it, but It was an after market one, should I look for one with a STOCK hitch? And I understand gears vary, but how would I no which gears are best for my Jeep? And how can I tell which gears my D-35 has?
*EDIT*
Found out how to check my gears, http://www.pajeeps.org/forum/index.php?topic=1445.new#new now, how would I no which are best for mine? I use it as a DD, and some times as an off roader.
