D44 ? Ratio ?

[SuperWade2]

Dana 44, Yes?

 

 

What Gear Ratio could I expect?

 

89 Pioneer, 4.0L, 4x4, 5Spd (although I suspect it started a 3sp Auto).

5sp 3.07

auto 3.55

 

4.0l only came with 4sp slush boxes

5sp 3.07

auto 3.55

 

4.0l only came with 4sp slush boxes

 

BUT, that is a D44, right?

 

Any if It were swapped from Auto to 5Spd, and the axles weren't touched, then I should have 3.55's still, right?

Yup, it's a 44 alright. That tag that is stuck between the two bolts on the left side of the cover should tell you what ratio it is.

Looks like lots of numbers on 2 rows, but it looks like the first numbers on the bottom row very well might be 3.07... which would debunk my theory that the tranny isn't stock...

 

Just keeps getting more interesting...
