D35 Question

[Wildman]

1986 MJ, 2.5 with 3 speed automatic tranny. 2wd.

 

Anybody have an idea what the D35 gears "should" be????

[Geonovast]

4.10 or 4.56 IIRC

[Pete M]

Impossible to know for sure. 86 was a funky year with few hard rules. :(

[Wildman]

Good.........I was hoping it was somewhere around the 4.10 range :brows:

 

(note.......I know, craw under and hope a tag's still hanging there........)

 

Thanks Geonovast :D

Can always pull the cover and check the numbers stamped in the ring gear.

 

Or jack up one wheel, put trans in neutral, rotate tire twice and count revolutions of the drive shaft (just over 4, or just over 4.5).

Don't be happy just yet. It could easily be a 3.55 or 3.31, etc.

but its 2wd so an axle swap would be like half price... you could upgrade with the money you save...

Half price what?

He is addicted to Comanches. Tried a 12 step program:

 

step 1 buy another one

step 2 buy another one

...

step 12 buy another one

 

That's about it, right Bob? You have 13 of them now? ;)

Half price what?

Half the price of doing a 4WD vehicle that would require changing two axles instead on one.

[Wildman]

Yea........the 12 step program seam to work...........I'm stuck at 12 MJ's and haven't add any more in the past 3 months :fs1:

 

But, one is almost parted out, so I need a replacement for that one.

 

:doh: that right, the year isn't over........yet.........

 

Just trying to find a D35 for someone else, with 4.10's, for their 2wd, And, thinking of what I might have "on hand" :roll:

 

Yea, I know, the only "true" way of knowing, is to pull the cover off and read the gears, but, just a guest of what might be there, makes it worth while to pull the cover.

 

I got the "half price" thing.......but who wants a 2wd in the north country :hmm:

 

My first one was 2wd, 2.5, but I've out grew that, 4wd and 4.0 is all I want now :yes:

 

Oh, and parts...........yea, just ask Cherokee about that. He know where more parts are in the shop than I do now :rotfl2:

[cherokee]

Only because I put some of those parts on yours shelves myself. :rotfl2:
