I have been trying to find a Dana 44 for my truck, but I don`t know where to look anymore. I have tried salvage yards, Ebay, classified ads, and praying to the truck gods, and I just can not find any parts for a 1988 W100. Am I looking in the wrong places? Where do you guys suggest? I`m having a hard time even figuring out how much I am going to have to spend. Anything you can add would be very much appreciated.

 

Don't just look for 100's look for 200's and 300's, if that doesn't work. You may have to look for a newer truck rear end or an older one. Old ram's are either picked over or still running. I found one no problem. Also look at the duallys too, the wreckers or city/ county trucks usually have danas just with different hubs.

 

Didn't the old wranglers have danas in them too?

 

They are probably too short to fit up under his truck.

 

My challenge is that I need the front axle, the rears are everywhere it seems like. I still could even use the passenger side axle shaft, gears, hubs, basically everything but the housing and drivers side shaft.

 

This may be stupid but. How do u Identify the Axles? Dana 44 Dana 60 and so on I no my the tag on the cover but what in the code am I looking for? I have a TJ with the Dana 30 Front and Dana 35 rear but thats what they come with and I havent really looked at the tags cuz I no whats there.

 

As I recall, the 44 has 12 bolts in the cover.

 

There is aguy in Bowling Green Ky. he has nothing but dodge trucks, older and newer ones. I am sure he has a 44 out of something but depending on where your from may be a problem. His business is Minton Motors in Bowling Green Ky. if you call ask for Robert.........

 

I`ll keep that in mind, but I live in Tx., and shipping for an item that size is about $275.
