Joe Dirt Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 Wonder why they swapped it out. 🤔 truck is a metric ton so it should've had a 44, right? Any pro's or cons with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The86manche Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 It's comparable in terms of strength to the 44 and plenty of aftermarket support as well. Maybe the 44 was shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghetdjc320 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 You've got an XJ 8.25 axle there. You can see the remnants of the old SOA perches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any pro's or cons with it? If I had to guess someone sold the 44 from your rig years ago. Even if the 44 needed parts it would've been easier to fix it than to swap in a whole nother axle, unless the housing was toast or it needed new gears.

acfortier Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Assuming it is an actual Metric Ton and someone didn't just swap in the badges and leaf packs... yeah, it doesn't make sense to swap out the D44 for a 8.25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
