   Sad to say but the Dana 44 in the the Frontiers and my 'high end' 4x4 1999 Grand Cherokee was a piece of junk when compaired to the Dana 44 that was in my 1976 4x4 Wagoneer 401 V-8. Even the axle tubes were sad. The 1999 GC rear axle was worked on 4 times in two years then completely replaced and it was still a piece of junk.

   The Dana 44 in the Wagoneer worked 31 years on the same lube until I put a locker in it... then continued doing Colorado mountain pass 4x4 trails another 6 years.

   The Nissan LSD rear end in in my 99 V-6 Frontier 4x4 has been over many Colorado mountain pass 4x4 trails and has served perfectly!!!

Have a goood one.. Don S..
