Default Differential clutch packs

A Dana 44 and the dodge 9.25 use the same clutch packs. For my 9.25 (D44) I want to get a clutch pack that has a higher bias rate.

It's to keep the wheels locked up longer. There used to be some for the D44 (9.25) but I can't find a dealer that sells them. I don't want to, but also considering going with a new/used diff with a case like Truetrac, Auburn, Yukon, Detroit, etc. I bought new 4.88 gears, master installation kits and a Lockright No Spin for the front, so far. Have to get brake parts too while I'm down there.

I can find clutch packs that say they fit both diffs, and it seems that style was used in a LOT of applications, going back to the 60's. Nowhere do I see them even talking about changing bias ratio..... I would imagine that is done by varying the thickness of the clutch pack??

2018 and down to the 1960's. My 68 Commando I had a D44 19 spline in the back. You have to ensure you have the right spline count. Our trucks D44 front has 30 splines. I might be thinking of the 8.8 I did awhile ago. 2 many Jeeps and 2 many upgrades.

Exactly what I was saying. Unless the units share clutches he was shopping for the wrong TAD
