[QUOTE="Dirty Dog, post: 463514, member: 24042"] I don't believe there is any such thing as a Dana 40. If you know of one, please let me know. Most base Wranglers have a Dana 30 in the front and a Dana 35 in the rear. I believe you can special order one with a Dana 44 in the rear. The Rubicons have a Dana 44 front and rear. They also have lower gearing (4.10:1) in the differentials, and a 4:1 low range in the transfer case, as opposed to the 2.73:1 low range in non-Rubicon Wranglers. If the Jeep has been modified, I would never trust that gear ratio tag on the differential (not transmission). There's too much chance it's been changed. Get the rear end off the ground, mark the driveshaft, spin a tire, and count the number of revolutions the driveshaft makes. [/QUOTE]
