If I wanted to pull a rear axle assembly for my Jeep, will an ABS axle work for my non-ABS Jeep? I have the 8.25 with 3.07 gear ratio. Is there any difference between one from a 2WD vs 4WD?
Disagree. If you have one, whatever, but swapping one in is a fools game. 8.25’s are way too abundant and cheap to instead swap in garbage.
Still never understood the d35 hate. There is seriously nothing wrong with it. It may not have aftermarket support but mine is at 320k postal miles and still holding up great.
Mostly looking for a spare, but my diff is wearing out and starting to roar under load in 4th. It's my only vehicle and the only place that'll rebuild near me wants to keep the vehicle for 2+ weeks. So the plan is to locate a replacement and have them check it over out of the vehicle then swap it in and either just hang onto the original or have it rebuilt as a spare.
Don't want to add ABS, and definitely going for the 8.25. I think my question is answered, I'll look for a 3.07 8.25 of any sort.
As a fellow 5spd guy, I'd just grab a front and rear from an auto and get that 3.55 upgrade.
