Looking for a Dana 35

QCXJ8879 · Mar 27, 2012

I am looking for a dana 35 rear end to swap out in my xj. I had a spare that I got about a year ago and never put in. My buddy had his blow up on his truck so I gave it to him thinking I wouldnt need it. Well murphys law I have some pretty awsome sounds coming from my rear end and just want to swap it out with a stock one. Please let me know if anyone has one laying around. Thanks Joey

They are stock gears. I had a complete dana 35 I was gonna put in it bud I had a buddy in a pinch so I gave him that one. Now Im getting some weird noises out of the rear end. It is lincoln locked and I want to do away with that as well.

Stock gears can be 3.07, 3.55, 3.73, and even 4.11s came in some models. Do you know what gears you are running now?

QCXJ8879 · Mar 27, 2012

No I looked for the tag that is suppose to be on the diff cover and there is none. Im not sure if they were ever changed out prior to me owning the jeep.

You should really look into an 8.25 instead . . . IMHO.

QCXJ8879 · Mar 27, 2012

Whats all needed to do a 8.25 swap. Do I need to change rear driveshaft?

chaoscase · Mar 27, 2012

You need to pull the diff cover and count the gear teeth on the ring and pinion.

I know a guy in gilbert that has a 35 with 4.10 gears for $50.

I'm in Queen Creek if you need help getting it figured out.

If my front drive shaft isnt hooked up would it matter if the gears are differant? I just want to get a new axle on and be done with it at this point?

chaoscase · Mar 27, 2012

You can run different gears as long as the front drive shaft is out. It you run them connected, your Tcase will go BOOM!!

Is this a daily driver? If you do any wheeling I would go with the 8.25 but if you're not hooking up a front drive shaft I guess you're not wheeling..... pull the cover spin the ring gear the ratio is stamped into it.

QCXJ8879 · Mar 27, 2012

I do wheel it but it is also my daily driver. I have the front driveshaft off right now so I can have it rebuilt and I am going to check out my rear u-joints to see if maybe thats part of the problem.

If you are free today, bring it over and we'll take a look at it.

QCXJ8879 · Mar 27, 2012

Thanks man I appriciate it pm sent.

jap813 · Mar 31, 2012

I have one that is good for parts if you want it

QCXJ8879 · Mar 31, 2012

OK finally determine I have 3.55 gears does anyone know of any Dana 35s with 3.55 gears for sale?

chvynova-71 · Mar 31, 2012

what exactly is wrong with your 35 (besides the fact that it is a dana35)

QCXJ8879 · Apr 1, 2012

Its welded and is making some funny noises I figure it would be cheaper to replace rather then rebuild

chvynova-71 · Apr 3, 2012

replace the spider gears and you should be good to go. i have a lockright to replace those spider gears......
