I bought this unit off eBay to upgrade my Dana 35 and decided to go in a different direction. With that in mind, I could either put it on ebay or see if anyone on this forum would like it. You can see the original eBay posting at https://www.ebay.com/itm/27521615923.
It is currently selling for $570. My price including shipping in the USA is $425.
Looking for sources of the front Inner Protective Fender. Does anyone still make them?

I like the D44 for the ease of installation. The spring mounts are exactly the way they need to be. I don't know what it would take to modify one of the other options you mentioned. The easier they are to install the more I would be willing to switch.
I am wanting to upgrade my Comanche to have a Dana/Spicer 44 rear end. I will be towing a boat and want a stronger unit. I will upgrade the unit to a 4.10/4.07 if it is not already set up. I am in South Carolina, but can pick up any location east of the Mississippi River. Would consider crossing the river if not going too far.
I lost one of the clips on the right - but I found these on Ebay. I want to extras of the one on the left - but I can't find them or have the part number. Anyone have a part number or know of a source?
When I look at the electrical manual, I do not see them on the starter relay and placing them on the battery would unclutter the area some. Too many wires in a tight location. They could easily go back to the relay. Any thought on the amperage of the fusible link? I am looking at the wires and I think several need to be replaced as the wires are not in the best of condition with missing insulation. Some black tape could help to resolve the issue.
I am working on my truck and found a large numbers of wires connected to the starter rely on the post where the battery cable goes. I was going to move them to the battery post cable. Unfortunately, one of the wires broke coming out of this black gizmo. Is this just a connector or does it do more like drop the voltage or as a fusible link. Looking to see if I can just snip them off and put on modern connectors with a longer wire to easily connect to the battery. I have not identified where they go to or what they are for - that is for another day. The end with the eye hook looks like original wiring and on the other side is thicker red wires.
