O k, Hers the deal I went and ran the bom # on that site that Matt posted but for some reason It does not match no axle opn that site. I know it is a 44 but would love to have alitle more info on it. The # I got off of the axle is 613683 5. Now if anyone knows of another place I can run please let me know. I have search yahoo to death.

on another note I did match up the other axle 603685 6 This is what it said about that one...JEEP Model 44 FRONT 1978 - 1979 J10, J20, HONCHO, CHEROKEE WIDE TRACK ---603685-6 STD 3.54

Thanks for the help guys,
Daniel

well it should work..............maybe the # is incorrect????


really.....you can't just visually ID them by now :laughing:

Yeah I know it is a 44. however I haven't got to ordering any parts for her yet. I thought I had better know what exact axle I have to order the part for. lol Does it even matter?
Thanks for the pump up and maybe you cou ld help on the rest of the story.


PS: I have checked the #'s sevearl times and it is the same right #. I just can't seem to get any info on it. You think that means I have a scout?


Thanks again,
Daniel

post a pic of it and i'll see if i can help you visually id it

I thought I had one on this computer But I don't. So I will take one this afternoon and post it then.
Thanks,
Daniel

if you're not going to be able to identify it via BOM, give us some specs. Exact wms to wms? small or large bearing spindle? flat top knuckles? knowing some details, i bet we can come pretty close to what it came out of.

Otay guys here are some pictures I took yesterday afternoon.

And here is a picture of my vortech that will be going into this trooper.http://pics.montypics.com/trooper4life/2004-07-15/1089909416_axle_0720.jpg
I will get the wms tonight. No flat tops. Not sure about the bearing spindle? What is that? How do I tell if it is the large or small one.
Thanks guys,
Daniel

ok axle is upside down in pics................but judging from the spring unger casting and the fin on the side of the diff..i say it is a 77-79 wagoneer front D44

i'm guessing there is a hole in the casting that the larger u-bolt on the pass side goes through.


this is a big bearing spindle front axle.


put on flat tops, gear, lock, and run it.

Daniel, it looks like you've been on the ball, you're going to have your truck going before i finish mine :flipoff2: sorry i didn't get up with you the other weekend, all we did was sit around with cold ones.....

the progress looks good so far, can't wait to check it out.

put on flat tops, gear, lock, and run it

Would the 77-79 not have the factory flat top knuckles?

There is a hole in the casting for the u bolt. This axle does not have flat tops. Why wouldn't the bom # work? The # on this axle is in great shape. Easy to see.

I will get the wms today and post them.

Thanks,
Daniel

Would the 77-79 not have the factory flat top knuckles?


no they would not....74-76 have flat tops, but also have small bearing spindles and a smaller center section casting.........can'y have the best of both unles "you" combine it

The wms is 54 inch center to center.
So when I order my rebuild kit for this axle what should I ask for?


Thanks,
Daniel

My 77 had the flat tops...musta been swapped out at one time or another. My bad

The wms is 54 inch center to center.

Daniel


where are you getting this measurement?......................with rotors on?


sounds way too narrow :confused:

No I just measured it the way it is in the picture above. I turned each knuckle around till they were straight and then measured outside to outside. Where the bolts are sticking out of the knuckles.

Later,
Daniel

ahhhhh....that's what i thought................that is def NOT the wheel mounting surface.

that axle should be like 62-63" ish total...wms-wms

daniel, i'd use the wider one of the two cause i wasn't one of those about 3-4'' wider? these boxy troopers could use all the stability they can get. the axle should be a wide track grand cherokee D44 77-79 if you need that to get parts, although the width shouldn't matter for most parts unless you are buying shafts.
