Joe Dirt Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The86manche Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 It's comparable in terms of strength to the 44 and plenty of aftermarket support as well. Maybe the 44 was shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghetdjc320 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 You've got an XJ 8.25 axle there. You can see the remnants of the old SOA perches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you add the VIN to the registry we can tell you if it’s a true Metric Ton. 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, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
