Strokermjcomanche Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Going to possibly get the axle out of this tommorow . Vin 1J4FT27P8XL540425 I can get it for less than $100 out the door , good deal ? Good axle ? I don't know if the driveshaft will need shortened ( currently have a Dana 35 ) in my 88 Comanche . I know there was a thread explaining this but can't find it . I know I'll have to weld perches and cut the XJ brackets off. Anyone need anything if I end up going ?

88whitemanche Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Great axle...I currently have one under my 98 2door 4.0 ax15...paid $220 out the door for mine so your getting a steal! Great amount of torque back especially on 4.5" lift and 32s.... Is it an auto or manual 2.5? I found out that the 97+ 2.5 auto has 3.55 gears
Strokermjcomanche Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 It's a manual , the tag is still on the axle with 4.10 ratio .
88whitemanche Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Sweet! $100 is a steal! Here's mine when I picked it up...from a 2 door 98 2.5 5 speed Image Not Found Don't have pics of the actual 2 door...I should've though... Oh and gas mileage is WAY better!
Strokermjcomanche Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 Thanks for the info / help . Your axle is waaay cleaner then mine .now I'm on the hunt for a matching front axle ...
88whitemanche Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I got lucky to have a 4cyl Comanche with 4.10s... Since I'm planning to regear the comanche to 4.88s I figured why pay twice to regear and just swap axles...
Strokermjcomanche Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 I'm going from 3.07 gears to 4.10 . I know of a front 4.10 axle with a bent tube for $100 but Leary of using used gears .
Jackrabbit41 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I just changed from 3.07s to 4.10s and it's awesome. I have 33s and it has plenty of power

I know of a front 4.10 axle with a bent tube for $100 but Leary of using used gears .I guess it all depends how you use it...I know a guy who set up used gears into his d30 front axle...He's on 13" of lift and 38s and been running it for 10+ years and goes off-road with no issues... it's his dd and He still had the cad axle

I wouldn't pay a hundred, I'd offer $50, ask them to throw the bent housing for free or tell them you'd bring it back after you got the gears out. Myself, I wouldn't think twice about running used gears as long as they don't have heat or physical damage. I like saving money however I can.

They are firm on their prices . The other axle is at another yard , I'd like to open it up before I bought it to make sure they are not damaged . Maybe he'll wheel and deal ...

If it was me, money would not changed hands if they would not open it up, same goes for trannys, and anything else that you can visually inspect or check fluid condition.
