Baby blue Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 I found an original. They want 550$ is that a good price. Thanks in advance. Gonna buy it either way, still haven't started haggling.
Megadan Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 $550 is an OK price if it is an MJ unit. I would try to talk them down a little though. Does it come complete with shafts, brake, and all?
schardein Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Was 4.11 a factory offering? If it was added later, value will depend on the quality of work. Does it have an open/limited slip/locking differential? And is it complete drum-to-drum? If the brakes are there, are they usable? For a clean, correct MJ D44, with 4.11s, and serviceable brakes and parking brake cables, ready to install, I would consider $500 fair. Price up for a limited slip/locker, price down for anything less. Or, if no one else in the local area is making offers, then your best offer is what he will get.
mikekaz1 Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 If its 4.10 then its not factory? As far as I knew only 3.55 were on the d44 from the factory. Not a bad thing if that's true. Just something to check
HOrnbrod Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 4.10 (4.09 in the parts manual) is a regulation factory MJ D44 axle, but kind of rare. There were also 3.54 (most common) and 3.07 ratios. See if it still has the diff cover tag on it and look for the part number (5300xxxx) stamped either on the tag or the axle tube. Then you can ID if it's a factory 4.09 or a regear.

Just something to check Yes, that's kind of what I was asking, although I don't know if it was a factory option or not. I would try to find that out, as well as verify what gears were in it by physically reading the number off the ring gear. No way I'd by an axle without physically viewing the gears.

Baby blue Posted April 12, 2016 Author Posted April 12, 2016 It is complete, think 4.10 came on 2.5 litre. No haggling done yet and still not in my possession. Any feedback is much appreciated.
