JohnQ Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Could a dana 44 be factory in a 1989 swb 2wd truck?
JohnQ Posted September 30, 2007 Author Posted September 30, 2007 Cool I just bought one for $500. :D Driving up to Arlington tomorrow to get it. Not sure if I am going to restore this truck or rob parts for my 88. Now I need to find a car hauler. Does anyone know if U-Haul charges by the mile for a trailer or is it just one flat rate?
JeepcoMJ Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 haha, just cause it was available doesn't mean yours is a dana 44. good luck on that though.
dfreeman616 Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 daily, i used a dolly from them to pick up the 88xj i picked up today. but what are you going to tow it with? they won't let you use a comanche to haul a comanche.

The one by me will not even rent you a car hauler unless you rent their truck to pull it. :nuts: On top of that they are hard to come by for one day local rental.

Geonovast Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 FIVE HUNDRED!?! jesus man. it better bolt right in with no extra $$ from your pocket. I think he meant a truck for $500...not the axle, lol

Pete M Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 I recently found evidence that the Dana 44 was available in 87 with the Off Road package, but there was never a "Tow Package" offered in any year and the heavy-duty rear axle disappears from all subsequent brochures 88-92. Hitches were installed at the dealership.

Hitches were installed at the dealership. Pete, you have been around the block enough times to learn never say never where Jeep management was involved.
Pete M Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 You are right, I really should know better. :roll: I've been going through my brochures again and I gotta tell you my memory really does suck (ever since I was sick, but that's a story for another day). I've been going on my memory telling me that the hitch is installed at the dealership. While I was right about that, I'm finding that there was a prep package available in at least the early years. I'll fill in the details once I go through all of the brochures.
Pete M Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Class 3 tow prep related stuff (except 86 which topped out at class 2) It's not necessarily a list of exactly what you get when you check the box because some of it is simply "also required". 86: 2.8L axle ratio: 4.10 (no mention of axle though) Automatic Transmission Heavy duty cooling Heavy duty Battery Power steering P205 tires or larger 87 and 88: Heavy duty rear axle 4.0L Automatic Transmission Heavy duty cooling Heavy duty Battery Power steering P205 tires or larger Full size spare 89: Heavy duty rear axle 4.0L Automatic Transmission Heavy duty cooling Electric aux fan Transmission oil cooler Heavy duty Battery Power steering P205 tires or larger Full size spare 90: Can't find the brochure. I'm assuming it's the same as 89 since the vehicle didn't really change 91: Only mention is "See your dealer for info about ordering your vehicle equipped in preparation for dealer installed trailer towing packages." (probably where I was getting the info in the back of my head since I've had this brochure the longest). 92: I only have the mini-brochure, but I'm assuming it's the same as 91
JohnQ Posted October 1, 2007 Author Posted October 1, 2007 89: Heavy duty rear axle 4.0L Automatic Transmission Heavy duty cooling Electric aux fan Transmission oil cooler Heavy duty Battery Power steering P205 tires or larger Full size spare Thats what I just picked up. Got her home last night. Will post up some pics later on.
JohnQ Posted October 2, 2007 Author Posted October 2, 2007 Here she is. Don't you just love the pin striping! Not bad for $500, 100% rust free. I am swapping the rear dana 44 with my 88's dana 35, and robbing the AC system. Put my liberty rims on her this moring, but the front grease cap is in the way.
JeepcoMJ Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 sweet MJ! ...you don't have the upper, lower, and side trim pieces do you? if not, instead of the 89 style grille I have, I could send you the 94 style (3 piece) that has the upper and lower trim pieces built in...for $5 more...

That sounds better. Hook me up with the 94 style. I'll send you a PM with my new address.
JohnQ Posted October 2, 2007 Author Posted October 2, 2007 I was looking at the pictures I took of the new truck last night. Do you guy's see anything wierd?
