Stock axles in a '88 manche

[Winger]

Can anybody tell me the particulars on the stock front & rear axles that are in my '88 manche??

It is a SWB 4.0L 4X4 5 speed.

Is the rear a D-35 & the front a D-30??

I have a chance to get a Detroit ez-locker for a D-35 for a good price but want to be sure it will fit!!

 

Thanks in advance!!

what does the pumpkin look like? if its an oval its a D35, they also have a plastic fill plug. If its a retarded diamond shape with a metal plug its a D44. Those were to two rears available in your year. Your front is a HP D30.

 

There was a good thread with pictures just the other day. Take a pic of yours if you can and post it. We'll be able to ID it.

An '88 MJ with a factory Dana 35 in the rear should have a threaded steel fill plug. Chrysler didn't change over to the plastic plugs until 1990, at the time they changed to c-clips.

Maybe we should sticky this link?

I've been going with the philosophy that if I stickied everything that needed to be stickied, we'd have a couple pages full of stickies and likely still be asked about them. :D So I try to resist.

Thanks Guys!!

I just crawled under it, in the rain, and confirmed that it is a D-35 and from what it has on the tag I assume it has 3.08 gears and the front axle tag has 3.07.

The page from nhscrambler is already saved in my computer for future use!!
