Im suggesting that if your chosen axle is behind the same drivetrain setup its more likely to be the same. (IMHO )

Post by: mendelmax on November 30, 2007, 08:17:16 PM: My god... I'll explain again If I'll have the same axle gear ratio that I have now, I will obtain the same final ratio.
I don't want to use another D35c, because then I would have to swap all my current internals (locker) in. A lot of work and again risk of damage. If I'll find a D44a with vari-lok, having 3.55 ratio, then I'll be fine. I also know, that it depends on engine type, that's why I'm asking about WG CRD only, which is the only possible donor. I'm still not sure if it has 3.55 though.

So, any CRD owner on this board?

Post by: mendelmax on November 30, 2007, 09:54:38 PM: No, I have WJ with D35c. It was shipped from US. But the axle is busted. I have to replace it. I want to replace it with WG axle.

it is a tech question really. the worksop is more about stuff that folk have done or are in the middle of. its is not a problem. it just made sense to go here as some folk only read tech.

Post by: JamesH on December 02, 2007, 07:06:49 PM: I had a front axle that I was told came from a 2003 2.7 CRD WG. I'm pretty certain it had 3.55 axle gears.

Because I bought they axle from a breaker I never did see the vehicle it came from but it was definitely a WG axle as I used the brakes and steering knuckles. It did only have an open diff, not vari-lok.
