Rear end identification
Looking for some help indentifying this rearend on my sons 1997 2wd Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. It says Dana on the fill cap but there are no numbers on the tabs or anywhere else on the rear end. Anyone know for sure which one this is?

AND...it's no way an HD! It's fragile and the case can widen enough to change the gear lash if you whomp on it. The D44 is much stronger. You'll need a case spreader to set the carrier bearing preload.
