did i find a D44?

[project88mj]

so i gain some axle strength no matter what?

[Pete M]

A little bit. But is it worth all the effort and money? Maybe not. For axle swapping, I generally look for a significant improvement in gearing or strength or both.

That is definitely an 8.25

NOT!!! Thats a 35. Take a better look at tha dif pics. The top three and bottom three bolts are in a streight line on a 8.25.

[Geonovast]

No, that's an 8.25

None of this really matters anymore, because the original poster no longer has an MJ.

[cracker]

any way too tell what it is?

[EmJay89]

I vote D35, its round... an 8.25 has flat spots

[Pete M]

it's an 8.25. the photo hides the give-away items, but they are there. the relatively flat upper edge of the cover, the rolled lip around the edge of the cover, and the flat spot on the lower edge of the housing (the lip is disguised by some dirt).
